title = "Chapter 9 - QA of MR-linac",
abstract = "MR-linacs have been implemented in the past with the capability to perform online adaptive radiotherapy. Because of the hybrid nature of an MR-linac, an adaptation of previous quality assurance (QA) procedures for conventional linacs is required in combination with new procedures for the imaging component. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the QA procedures implemented previously for MR-linacs and identify the most relevant QA aspects to consider for new adopters of this technology. The first part of the chapter describes the changes needed to adapt the QA procedures from a conventional linac to an MR-linac. The second part of the chapter focuses on the solutions implemented for patient-specific QA of the adaptive treatment planning process.",
