Objective. This study aimed to investigate the dosimetric impact of using population-based relative electron density (RED) overrides in lieu of simulation computerized tomography (CT) in a magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MRL) workflow for male pelvis patients. Additionally, the feasibility of using prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/CT (PSMA-PET/CT) scans to assess patients' eligibility for this proposed workflow was examined.Approach. In this study, 74 male pelvis patients treated on an Elekta Unity 1.5 T MRL were retrospectively selected. The patients' individual RED values for 8 organs of interest were extracted from their simulation-CT images to establish population-based RED values. These values were used to generate individual (IndD) and population-based (PopD) RED dose plans, representing current and proposed MRL workflows, respectively. Lastly, this study compared RED values obtained from CT and PET-CT scanners in a phantom and a su
