Fig. 1 Layout of the treatment rooms. The MR-Linac is installed in the upper left corner and surrounded by 3 standard linear accelerators, A, B and C at distances of respectively, 7.5, 5.5 and 11 m. The displayed Gauss lines are 0.5 G (Outer) and 2 G (Inner), and are taken from the vendor specifications.
