Advantages compared to other approaches:
• Radiation source not affected by magnet
• Less impact on secondary electron trajectories due to
low magnetic field
Disadvantages:
• Cobalt sources need to be replaced
• Low magnetic field, functional imaging capabilities
probably limited
Current status:
• First patients treated in February 2014 at Washington
