Clinical workflow for MR-only simulation and planning in prostate
PURPOSE To describe the details and experience of implementing a MR-only workflow in the clinic for simulation and planning of prostate cancer patients. METHODS Forty-eight prostate cancer patients from June 2016 - Dec 2016 receiving external beam radiotherapy were scheduled to undergo MR-only simulation. MR images were acquired for contouring (T2w axial, coronal, sagittal), synthetic-CT gene...
متن کاملMR-guided multi-atlas based synthetic CT for MR-only radiotherapy of head and neck cancer patients
S71 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ provided by dual-energy CT (DECT) compared to singleenergy CT (SECT) can be clinically used to reduce CT-based range uncertainties and to analyze intraand interpatient tissue variations. First, a DECT scan protocol was optimized and clinically introduced. Second, in a first analysis patien...
متن کاملDevelopment of MR-Only Planning for Prostate Radiation Therapy Using Synthetic CT
The department of Radiation Oncology at Calvary Mater Newcastle, treats approximately 1,800 new patients per year. When it comes to prostate treatments, MR scans are used in addition to CT for treatment planning. Having to undergo two scans however is a burden both to patients as well as the health system. We have looked into addressing this by replacing the CT by an MR-only workflow when treat...
متن کاملComparison of manual and automatic MR‐CT registration for radiotherapy of prostate cancer
In image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) of prostate cancer, delineation of the clini-cal target volume (CTV) often relies on magnetic resonance (MR) because of its good soft-tissue visualization. Registration of MR and computed tomography (CT) is required in order to add this accurate delineation to the dose planning CT. An automatic approach for local MR-CT registration of the prostate has previou...
متن کاملMR-only simulation for radiotherapy planning White paper: Philips MRCAT for prostate dose calculations using only MRI data
Highly targeted treatment planning is at the foundation of successful radiotherapy. With its superb and tunable soft-tissue contrast, MRI has in recent years emerged as an imaging modality to drive delineation accuracy of targets and organs at risk. With the introduction of the fi rst commercially available MR-only simulation package, Philips continues to pave the way for the adoption and imple...
