Do you know what margins were used for your treatment with the mri elekta linac? Did it automatically shut off if you moved your body? How many treatments did you have?

Afaik the Elektra infinity is not an MR Linac, that is the Elektra Unity.

I had some treatments on the liferay mridian, but it never needed to stop afaik (I tried to keep still 😉).

But just before the treatment they made very small adjustments and rescanned before the radiation.
An impressive machine, with a very long tunnel.

I think those are the only 2 MR Linacs available.

I'm not sure what you mean by what margins were used, I do know that there are motion sensors used so if I do move or cough or sneeze, the process stops and they reset, I've had 9 treatments so far.
