The reason that “….a facilities website indicates they use the mridian viewray on prostate cancer doesn't mean they are….” is that ViewRay, the maker of the MRIdian MRI-guided radiation therapy system, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 16, 2023.

cancer centers are still using the meridian device despite the bankruptcy filing. there have been issues with facilities continuing the maintenance contract with the former employee group.
the hope for patients is that image guided sbrt will continue to develop.
for instance my urologist at moffit said they are one of a few centers that combine the psma pet scan with the mri guided fusion biopsy.
perhaps technology may develop for image guided sbrt.
additionally the viewray mridian uses.35T mri while the elekta unity has a 1.5T mri.
