Experimental and simulation data were acquired for a range of field sizes to investigate off-axis irradiation on an inline MRI-Linac. The skin sparing effect was observed with off-axis irradiation, a feature that cannot be achieved to the same extent with other methods, such as bolusing, for beams at isocenter.
