MRIDIAN vs. Elekta System
 Clinically released
 Using three Cobalt sources
 Linac under development
 0.35 Tesla MR scanner
 Less magnetic interference, e.g.
electron return effect
 Hardly any geometric distortion
 Less suited for functional
imaging
 Under development
 Linear accelerator
 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner
 More magnetic interference, e.g.
electron electron return effect
 Geometric distortion
 Functional imaging possible
