Abstract

Magneto-radiotherapy is the application of magnetic fields during radiotherapy procedures. It aims to improve the quality of cancer treatment by altering the dose deposition of charged particles in the tissue volume being targeted. Our research has focused on applying the concept of magneto-radiotherapy to conventional linac treatment and MRT (Microbeam Radiation Therapy) oncology modalities.
