Abstract

PURPOSE: This paper investigates, via magnetic modeling and Monte Carlo simulation, the ability to deliver proton beams to the treatment zone inside a split-bore MRI-guided proton therapy system. METHODS: Field maps from a split-bore 1 T MRI-Linac system are used as input to geant4 Monte Carlo simul...
