The purpose of this work was to characterize the HYPERSCINT scintillation dosimetry research platform in a MR-linac environment, particularly with respect to its orientation. This study shows that the HYPERSCINT scintillation dosimetry platform can be used regardless of its orientation in a magnetic field environment. Together with its linearity to dose and dose-rate, the detector shows great promises for development of dosimetry solutions dedicated to the MR-Linac environment.
