There is growing interest to explore the concept of magnetic resonance integrated proton therapy (MRiPT). However, no experimental proof-of-principle has been established so far. The aim of this work was to develop an in-magnet measurement setup that facilitates to investigate the dosimetric feasibility of MRiPT and to develop a commissioning procedure for future MRiPT devices.
