A Review of the Australian MRI Linac Program: From Pie in the Sky to Research Milestone
Combining MRI and radiation therapy with artificial intelligence improves cancer targeting precision, advancing the field toward more personalized radiation treatment.
A historical review of the Australian MRI-Linac program (multi-university, 1T/6MV prototype), documenting its research milestones in AI-enhanced radiotherapy imaging, dosimetry, and personalized cancer targeting. While a research program retrospective rather than clinical trial, it provides context for AI integration in adaptive radiotherapy.
