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 کاملComparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
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...
متن کاملDiscrepancies in dose distributions due to age- dependent bone electron density in pediatric MRI-only treatment planning: A Monte Carlo study
Introduction: MRI-only treatment planning (TP) can be advantageous in paediatric radiotherapy. However, electron density extraction is necessary for dose calculation. Normally, after bone segmentation, a bulk density is assigned. However, the variation of bone bulk density in patients makes the creation of pseudo CTs challenging. This study aims to assess the effects of bone den...

Combined Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Near InfraredSpectroscopy (NIRS) has been proposed as a unique method to quantifyhemodynamics, water content, and cellular size and packing density ofbreast tumors, as these tissue constituents can be quantified with increasedresolution and overlaid on the structural features identified by the MR.However, the choices in how to reconstruct...
