Abstract
A Radio-Therapy (RT) system includes an integrated radiation source and a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system that implements a method for providing a variable imaging Field Of View (FOV). The FOV can be tailored for various RT-specific applications such as, but not limited to, patient setup verification and real-time tumor tracking, for example, as well as for various imaging volumes of interest.
