Type of Radiation machines

Does anyone ask the radiologist/Oncologist what type of radiation machine are used and if so, what do you feel is the better ones? Thank you.

This is interesting. Does the built in MRI mean that the usual MRI restrictions apply (no metal in the room)? Are you enclosed in a tube like a traditional MRI?

@scottbeammeup yes. they had a fixed metal scanner bar by the entry door to the MRIdian treatment room. I was in an open tube and they put mirror glasses on me to watch calming videos while I was treated.
