PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S): A 4-stage non-comparative prospective feasibility study to assess and develop imaging protocols for MRIgRT was opened at the first two centers using MR Linac technology in the UK. The primary aims of this study were to determine a) the acceptability of MR images for target and organ at risk delineation and registration; b) inter/intra observer registration and delineation variation. This work reports on the initial results from a single center. MATERIALS/METHODS: In June 2019, following ethical and regulatory approvals the 2nd UK centre began study recruitment as follows: Stage A: non-patient volunteer imaging to determine sequence suitability for normal tissue in 6 anatomical sites (head & neck (H&N), chest wall/breast, lung/esophagus, abdomen, male and female pelvis)...
