@bens1 According to literature, Elekta machines have auto shut off. There is the Elekta MR-Linac (there are very few of them in Ontario-& Quebec-Canada, compared to the older generation Elektas) but I was told that it's used only for patient's with high risks of healthy organ damage (e.g., prostate cancer patients who cannot have the gold seeds fiducial markers implanted). I have gold seeds.

@vircet thank you. I know there is an Elekta Unity MR Linac at UF Health Radiation Oncology - Davis Cancer Pavilion in Gainesville, FL but I have not heard of any restrictions regarding its use in prostate cancer related to fiducials.

The stronger real time imaging results is a plus.
