Title: MR-Guided Radiation Therapy: Clinical Applications &Experiences

Abstract:

Magnetic Resonance (guided) Radiotherapy (MRgRT) is considered a suitable and versatile imaging modality that enhances direct visualization for tumors that surround the wounds among other organs at risk. MRgRT has marked the beginning of a new era, with its ability to provide real-time imaging that tracks and characterizes each anatomical motion. Initially, the technology was challenging,with the next-generation hybrid MR systems still having limited applicability to clinical practice. Adaptive radiotherapy is also an adequate procedure, given the monitoring variations targeting the neighboring structures to enhance uniformity of the treatment procedures. This is sufficient since a single plan may be inaccurate in exploring the wound’s exposure. MRI is also adequate as it provides soft tissue superior in image contrasts as compared to the standard X-ray technologies without exposure to radiation.
