Abstract  Objective To summarize the experience of ELEKTA Unity MR-linac in clinical application in our hospital and analyze the positioning accuracy, process time and other related issues. Methods A total of 14 patients enrolled in the Unity MR-Linac study were reviewed. All treatment time (including positioning, scanning, replanning, and beam discharge) and setup errors in 3directions were statistically analyzed. 11 patients with conventional accelerators using the multifunctional immobilization system (MIS) were randomly selected to make statistical analysis of the setup errors, and the differences between the Unity group and the conventional accelerators using the MIS were compared using t-test. Results In the Unity group, the setup errors in X,Y and Z directions were (-0.15±0.30) cm,(0.02±0.57) cm and (-0.10±0.28) cm, respectively. The average treatment time was 36.87minutes. The average positioning time was 5.40minutes. The mean scan time was 7.48minutes, the mean adaptive plan time was 7.46minutes, and the mean beam time was 9.48minutes. In the conventional accelerator group, the setup errors were (0.05±0.25) cm,(-0.01±0.25) cm and (-0.03±0.23) cm, respectively. The results of the setup errors of patients fixed with MIS showed that there were significant differences in the left and right directions (P<0.001), while there were no significant differences in the Y and Z directions (P=0.061 and 0.374) between two groups. Conclusions Except in the X direction, there is no significant difference in setup errors between the Unity and conventional accelerator groups in the condition of laser-free system. Under smooth circumstances, the treatment time by using ATP (adapt to position) workflow will also be within the range of tolerance of the patients. Magnetic-guided radiotherapy has a promising application prospect, whereas the procedure needs to be optimized.
