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 T-1 relaxation time is checked. T-1 magnetic reso nance images show the close correspondence between the actual absorbed dose distribution and the dose distribution expected by the treatment planning.
