Dosimetric feasibility of the hybrid Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-linac System (MRL) for brain metastases: The impact of the magnetic field.

CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to generate stereotactic radiation plans that satisfy clinical requirements using the MRL in the setting of single brain metastases. The dosimetric impact of magnetic field including the ERE at tissue-air boundaries is minor and does not negatively impact target conformity or dose gradient.
