A simple method accurately transposes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data onto simulation films, improving radiation therapy planning. This technique enhances portal verification and allows for individualized shielding, optimizing cancer treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiotherapy Planning

Background:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) integration into treatment planning is costly and time-consuming.
  • Existing methods using electro-optical devices or software risk image distortion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a straightforward method for incorporating MRI data into radiotherapy simulation films.
  • To assess the impact of this method on treatment portal verification and shielding.

Main Methods:

  • MRI and CT scans were performed on 48 brain tumor and 11 prostate cancer patients.
  • Organ and tumor volumes were transposed from MRI to simulation films using a grid overlay with identical magnification.
  • Patient positioning and devices were consistent between MRI and simulation.

Main Results:

  • The transposition method necessitated modifications in shielding or treatment portals for 9 brain tumor patients and 2 prostate cancer patients.
  • Directly visualized MRI structures on simulation films confirmed treatment portal accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • Directly transposing MRI structures onto simulation films simplifies treatment portal verification and conformation.
  • This method facilitates the direct implementation of individualized shielding in radiotherapy.
