Radiotherapy 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 کاملMRI-based radiotherapy treatment planning for prostate cancer– Assessment of geometric distortion and detection of fiducial markers
Background The superior soft tissue contrast of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to computed tomography (CT) has urged the integration of MRI and exclusion of CT in prostate radiotherapy treatment, referred to as an MRI-only workflow. Such a workflow can eliminate image registration errors between the CTand MR-images but incorporates multiple challenges. MR-images lack electron density...
متن کامل3-D RF Coil Design Considerations for MRI
High-frequency coils are widely used in medical applications, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. A typical medical MRI includes a local radio frequency transmit/receive coil. This coil is designed for maximum energy transfer or wave transfer through magnetic resonance. Mutual inductance is a dynamic parameter that determines the energy quantity to be transferred wirelessly by ele...
متن کاملSafety Considerations on MRI Systems for Firefighters and Paramedics
Background and Objectives: The use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems is on the rise and the number of installed systems is constantly increasing all over the world. This raises the possibility for emergency personnel to get in contact with these systems. However, the clothing and working material of paramedics and firefighters is not designed for the use on magnets. M...
متن کاملMRI based radiotherapy planning and pulse sequence optimization
Radiotherapy plays an increasingly important role in cancer treatment, and medical imaging plays an increasingly important role in radiotherapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is poised to be a major component in the development towards more e ective radiotherapy treatments with fewer side e ects. This thesis attempts to contribute in realizing this potential. Radiotherapy planning requires s...
