Abstract

A shift of the daily plan can mitigate target position changes that occur between daily MR acquisition and treatment for MR-linac radiotherapy, but increases the session time. We demonstrated that our workflow strategy and decision-making process, to determine whether a subsequent shift is necessary, is appropriate.
