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 کاملImaging 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 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 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...
متن کاملSystem for MRI guided Radiotherapy
The adverse side effects of gamma-ray radiotherapy can be reduced significantly by combining the treatment system with a real-time imaging system, used to precisely steer the radiation beam. MRI is a particularly attractive imaging modality for this, due to its excellent soft tissue contrast. A project is underway to combine a cylindrical, closed bore high-field MRI system with a 6 MeV Linac ra...
