MR-Linac systems are useful to visualize small soft-tissue targets for radiotherapy (RT) treatments. Geometric distortion caused by metal implants can interfere with the accuracy of the RT plan design and delivery. In this study, we simulated the spatial distortions caused by a hip prosthesis and determined its impact on surrounding tissues.
