To demonstrate the feasibility of online adaptive magnetic resonance (MR) image guided radiation therapy (MR-IGRT) through reporting of our initial clinical experience and workflow considerations. The first clinically deployed online adaptive MR-IGRT system consisted of a split 0.35T MR scanner stra...
