The magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR-Linac) offers a new treatment paradigm, providing improved visualisation of targets and organs at risk while allowing for daily adaptation of treatment plans in real time. Online MR-guided adaptive treatment has reduced treatment uncertainties; however, the additional treatment time and resource requirements may be a concern. We present our experience of integrating an MR-Linac into a busy department and provide recommendations for improved clinical and resource efficiency. Furthermore, we discuss potential future technological innovations that can further optimise clinical productivity in a busy department.
磁共振直线加速器（MR-Linac）提供了一种新的治疗模式，在实时提供靶区和危及器官更好的可视化的同时，允许每日调整治疗计划。在线磁共振引导自适应治疗减少了治疗不确定性；然而，额外的治疗时间和资源需求可能是一个关注点。我们介绍了将 MR-Linac 整合到繁忙科室的经验，并提供了提高临床和资源效率的建议。此外，我们还讨论了潜在的未来技术创新，这些创新可以进一步优化繁忙科室的临床生产力。
