Image guidance for radiation therapy (RT) using MRI offers superior soft tissue contrast and online adaptive replanning capabilities compared to conventional cone-beam CT (CBCT) systems. This review explores MRI-guided RT

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Technology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is standard for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) but has limitations.
  • Conventional linear accelerators (LINACs) with CBCT offer limited soft tissue visualization and lack real-time adaptive planning.
  • Current IGRT systems struggle with imaging internal anatomy during treatment delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technical advancements and benefits of MRI-guided radiation therapy (RT).
  • To discuss the clinical outcomes and potential of MRI-guided RT systems.
  • To highlight the advantages of MRI over CBCT in radiation therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technical characteristics of MRI-guided RT systems.
Keywords:

  • Analysis of imaging capabilities, including soft tissue contrast and real-time imaging.
  • Evaluation of emerging clinical outcomes and adaptive replanning features.

    • Main Results:

    • MRI-guided RT systems provide enhanced soft tissue contrast compared to CBCT.
    • These systems enable real-time imaging of internal anatomy during treatment.
    • Online adaptive replanning is a key advantage, improving treatment precision.

    Conclusions:

    • MRI-guided RT overcomes key imaging limitations of conventional LINACs with CBCT.
    • The technology shows promise for improved treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
    • Further clinical research is ongoing to establish the full impact of MRI-guided RT.
