Abstract
- Abstract The introduction of magnetic resonance (MR) linear accelerators (MR‐Linac) marks the beginning of a new era in radiotherapy. MR‐Linac systems are currently being operated by teams of radiation therapists (RTs), radiation oncology medical physicists (ROMPs) and radiation oncologists (ROs) due to the diverse and complex tasks required to deliver treatment. This is resource‐intensive and logistically challenging. RT‐led service delivery at the treatment console is paramount to simplify the process and make the best use of this technology for suitable patients with commonly treated anatomical sites. This article will discuss the experiences of our department in developing and implementing an RT‐led workflow on the 1.5 T MR‐Linac.
