Role of MRI in patient selection for CRT.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic resonance imaging has great potential for aiding in the selection of patients who will respond to CRT. MRI is the only imaging tool that can simultaneously assess mechanical dyssynchrony, determine the amount and location of myocardial scar tissue, and map the location of cardiac venous anatomy-three important factors in predicting a patient's response to CRT. The goal of this manuscript is to review the MRI methods that can be used in the selection of patients for CRT.

متن کاملDosimetric and Radiobiological Evaluation of Multiparametric MRI-guided Dose Painting in radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....
