It's simply too cool not to do it." patent application 20110230754 by Johan Overweg, Philips Hamburg, Germany Real-time knowledge of the target volume location in combination with high-precision dose delivery will make a real difference!

Summary 30 Imaging has always been the basis for radiotherapy treatments. Technology has evolved from pre-treatment imaging via interfractional imaging towards online imaging. The MR-Linac and scanning proton gantries are two state-ofthe-art radiotherapy approaches that illustrate the potential of real-time imaging and high-precision dose delivery. Eventually, a MR-proton hybrid machine will combine real-time imaging and high-precision dose delivery to enable optimal IGRT treatments.
