Popis: Purpose: To assess the feasibility and potential benefits of online adaptive MR-guided fractionated stereotatic radiotherapy (FSRT) in patients with brain metastases (BMs). Methods and materials: Twenty-eight consecutive patients with BMs were treated with FSRT of 30 Gy in 5 fractions on the 1.5 T MR-Linac. The FSRT fractions employed daily MR scans and the contours were utilized to create each adapted plan. The brain lesions and perilesional edema were delineated on MR images of pre-treatment simulation (Fx0) and all fractions (Fx1, Fx2, Fx3, Fx4 and Fx5) to evaluate the inter-fractional changes. These changes were quantified using absolute/relative volume, Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and Hausdorff distance (HD) metrics. Planning target volume (PTV) coverage and organ at risk (OAR) constraints were used to compare non-adaptive and adaptive plans. Results: A total of 28 patients with 88 lesions were evaluated, and 23 patients (23/28, 82.1%) had primary lung adenocarcinoma. Significant tumor volume reduction had been found during FSRT compared to Fx0 for all 88 lesions (median −0.75%, −5.33%, −9.32%, −17.96% and −27.73% at Fx1, Fx2, Fx3, Fx4 and Fx5, p
