Choice A: | Conversion from measured PDDs |
Choice B: | Discrete measurements in solid water |
Choice C: | Direct continuous measurement in water |
Choice D: | I don’t measure TMRs because it is too hard |
Question 2: Scanning speeds are limited by all but the following. |

Choice C: | Maximum couch speed |
Question 3: How do you program a beam hold in a developer mode research beam |
Reference: | N. C. Knutson et al., “A Cost Effective Method for Collecting Commissioning Beam Scan Data with a 1D Tank and Automated Couch Movements,†JACMP vol 19 no. 6 pp. 60-67, 2018. |
Choice A: | Set the MU to zero |
Choice B: | Change MU from control point to control point |
Choice C: | Modify a machine parameter with a fixed MU |

Question 4: Beam alignment and profile measurements in the presence of a magnetic field is primarily affected by |
Reference: | van Zijp et al. “Minimizing the magnetic field effect in MR-linac specific QA-tests: the use of electron dense materialsâ€, PMB 2016,61(3) |
Choice A: | The change in dose distribution due to the B-field effect on the secondary electrons |
Choice B: | The change in dose reading due to the B-field effect on the detector |
Choice C: | The change in dose output due to the B-field effect on the linac |
Choice D: | B-field inhomogeneity within the bore. |
Question 5: Setup of measurement equipment and beam alignment measurement on a MRI-Linac cannot make use of: |
Reference: | Barten et al., “Suitability of EBT3 GafChromic film for quality assurance in MR-guided radiotherapy at 0.35 T with and without real-time MR imaging†PMB 2018 63(16); |
Choice A: | Projections of the radiation field |
Choice B: | Gantry rotation |
Choice C: | Collimator rotation |
Choice D: | Position (difference) of well-defined objects (e.g. ball-bearings) |
Question 6: Detector response curves to e.g. dose should at least be: |
Reference: | Raaymakers et al. “First patients treated with a 1.5 T MRI-Linac: clinical proof of concept of a high-precision, highfield MRI guided radiotherapy treatmentâ€, PMB 2017 62 (41) |
