Background:

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a key treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Current lung SBRT relies on X-ray imaging, which has limitations in soft-tissue visualization.
Minimizing radiation exposure to organs-at-risk (OAR) is critical for reducing toxicity.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the advantages of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in lung SBRT.
To explore MRI's potential across the entire radiotherapy treatment chain.
To highlight advancements in hybrid MRI-Linac systems for adaptive radiotherapy.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on MRI applications in lung SBRT.
Discussion of MRI's benefits for diagnosis, staging, and delineation.
Exploration of MRI's role in treatment planning and motion management.

Main Results:

MRI provides superior soft-tissue contrast compared to X-ray imaging.
Functional MRI may offer insights for treatment adaptation.
Hybrid MRI-Linac systems enable real-time adaptive radiotherapy.

Conclusions:

MRI integration in lung SBRT promises enhanced precision and reduced toxicity.
MRI facilitates improved tumor and OAR delineation and real-time motion management.
Future applications of MRI in lung SBRT, particularly with hybrid devices, are significant.
