Imaging tumour motion for radiotherapy planning using MRI
Novel technology has made dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lung motion and lung tumour mobility during continuous respiration feasible. This might be beneficial for planning of radiotherapy of lung tumours, especially when using high precision techniques. This paper describes the recent developments to analyze and visualize pulmonary nodules during continuous respiration using MRI. B...
متن کاملRadiotherapy planning using MRI.
The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in radiotherapy (RT) planning is rapidly expanding. We review the wide range of image contrast mechanisms available to MRI and the way they are exploited for RT planning. However a number of challenges are also considered: the requirements that MR images are acquired in the RT treatment position, that they are geometrically accurate, that effects of p...
متن کاملMotion robust imaging for continuous intraoperative MRI.
The sensitivity of MR imaging to motion and susceptibility normally requires that the physician using intraoperative MRI cease surgical activity while image data sets are acquired. We demonstrate that line scan imaging allows the physician to continue operating without the delays caused by imaging. Consequently, patient anesthesia, surgery, and operating room time can be reduced. J. Magn. Reson...
متن کاملThe use of MRI in planning radiotherapy for gynaecological tumours
Parameters that significantly influence results in radiation treatment of gynaecological malignancies are mainly related to the tumour characteristics and the radiotherapy technique used. High-dose radiotherapy requires accurate localisation of the tumour volume and its relationship to surrounding normal tissues. For many years the standard technique used for irradiation of the pelvic area was ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Digital Radiotherapy Simulator: A Device for Tumour Localization, Radiotherapy Planning and Verification
Radiation therapy is one of the established modes of cancer treatment. For the safe and effective radiation therapy, it is necessary to plan and deliver the radiation beam accurately. Radiotherapy Simulator helps in identifying the organs at risk and in localising the cancer-affected tissues. For teletherapy, the Simulator would also help in choosing the right radiation beam and aiming it at th...
