Monte Carlo (MC) modeling of MR‐guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) treatment machines enables the characterization of photon/electron interactions in the presence of a magnetic field. The EGSnrc MC code system is a well‐established system for radiation dose calculations. The multi‐leaf collimator (MLC) component modules presently available within the EGSnrc MC code system do not include a model of the double‐focused MLC available on a low‐field (0.35T) MRI linear accelerator (MR linac).
