Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a radiation therapy system. The radiation therapy system may comprise a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus configured to acquire MRI data with respect to a region of interest (ROI) of a subject, the MRI apparatus including a magnetic body; and a radiation therapy apparatus configured to apply a radiation beam to at least one portion of the ROI. The radiation therapy apparatus may include a linear accelerator configured to accelerate electrons to produce the radiation beam, the linear accelerator being located in a bore formed by an inner surface of the magnetic body, and a length direction of the linear accelerator being parallel with an axis of the magnetic body.
