abstract = {With the rapid increase in clinical treatments with
MRI-linacs, a consistent, harmonized and sustainable ground
for reference dosimetry in MRI-linacs is needed. Specific
for reference dosimetry in MRI-linacs is the presence of a
strong magnetic field. Therefore, existing Code of Practices
(CoPs) are inadequate. In recent years, a vast amount of
papers has been published in relation to this topic. The
purpose of this review paper is twofold: to give an overview
and evaluate the existing literature for reference dosimetry
in MRI-linacs and to discuss whether this literature and
datasets are adequate and complete to serve as basis for the
development of a new or to extend existing CoPs. This review
is prefaced with an overview of existing MRI-linac
facilities. Then an introduction on the physics of radiation
transport in magnetic fields is given. The main part of the
review is devoted to the evaluation of the literature with
respect to the following subjects: • beam characteristics
of MRI-linac facilities; • formalisms for reference
dosimetry in MRI-linacs; • characteristics of ionization
chambers in the presence of magnetic fields; • ionization
chamber beam quality correction factors; • ionization
chamber magnetic field correction factors. The review is
completed with a discussion whether the existing literature
is adequate to serve as basis for a CoP. In addition, it
highlights subjects for future research on this topic.},
