Résumé

To design and commission a water phantom suitable for constrained environments and magnetic fields for magnetic resonance (MR)-guided proton therapy. A phantom was designed, to enable precise, remote controlled detector positioning in water within the constrained environment of a magnet for MR-guided proton therapy. The phantom consists of a PMMA enclosure whose outer dimensions of The phantom was successfully operated with and without applied magnetic fields. For complex movements, a positioning uncertainty within 0.16 mm was found with an absolute accuracy typically below 0.3 mm. Laterally integrated depth dose curves agreed within 0.1 mm with data taken using a commercial water phantom. The lateral beam offset determined from beam profile measurements agreed well with data from Monte Carlo simulations. The phantom is optimally suited for detector positioning and dosimetric experiments within constrained environments in high magnetic fields.
