Abstract

This report describes measurements of the radiation dose from the MR-linac at Christie Hospital using a selection of detectors (such as ionisation chambers and alanine) in order to calibrate the machine output. Absorbed dose to water calibration coefficients for the ionisation chambers used in the constant magnetic field (1.5 T) of the MR-linac were also determined. Together with similar measurements performed at NPL in a 0 T magnetic field over a range of beam qualities, the corrections required to measure the absorbed dose in the presence of a magnetic field using these detectors can be determined.
