@mmmvegas There are different types of radiation machines that have more or less side effects. The Mridian and the Elekta Unity have a built in MRI (vs fused images) so what they see in real time is treated in real time. The side effects are MUCH less as determined by both my personal experience of 5 hypo fractional treatments and the mirage randomized trial.
