@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.

@bens1 I don't think it's necessarily a restriction in use related to fiducials. It seems to me that the cancer center decided to use the MR-Linac for patients who have greater risks due to inability to have the fiducial markers implanted, or other complex issues. If the cancer center retired all their older Elektas, and every patient lined up to the MR-Linac, the waiting time for treatments will be very long. I would have preferred the Linac, but my RO assured me that they have tested all their Elektas and they are all good.
