Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiotherapy Physics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Four-dimensional MRI (4D-MRI) is crucial for radiation therapy motion management.
  • Conventional phase-based sorting methods for 4D-MRI may miss vital breathing variation information.
  • Accurate tumor motion measurement is essential for effective radiotherapy planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel probability-based sorting method for generating multiple breathing cycles in 4D-MRI.
  • To compare the performance of the new method against conventional phase-based methods regarding image quality and tumor motion accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • A probability-based sorting method was developed to identify and reconstruct main breathing cycles from patient breathing signals.
  • Breathing cycles were decomposed, grouped by amplitude and period, and used to reconstruct 4D images.
  • The method was tested on patient data for feasibility and on the XCAT phantom for performance evaluation.

Main Results:

  • The probability-based method significantly improved the similarity of breathing motion probability density functions (PDFs) compared to single-cycle sorting (DSC = 0.89 vs. 0.83).
  • Simulations showed superior performance in reducing motion artifacts and enhancing tumor volume precision and accuracy.
  • Accuracy of average intensity projection (AIP) of 4D images was also improved.

Conclusions:

  • A novel probability-based multicycle 4D image sorting method was successfully demonstrated.
  • The method enhances tumor motion PDF accuracy and 4D image AIP, offering advantages for radiation therapy motion management.
  • This approach shows potential for improving radiotherapy precision by better accounting for breathing variations.
