Abstract
An agarose gel phantom is used to evaluate the spatial distribution of the dose delivered by a linac radiosurgery device. Dependence of the absorbed dose on the T1 relaxation time is checked. T1 magnetic resonance images show the close correspondence between the actual absorbed dose distribution and the dose distribution expected by the treatment planning.Keywords
