Area of Science:

  • Radiotherapy and Medical Imaging
  • Biomarker Discovery
  • Quantitative MRI

Background:

  • Daily Magnetic Resonance-Linear Accelerator (MR-Linac) imaging offers potential for intratreatment biomarker extraction.
  • Current prediction models rely on pretreatment and follow-up scans, limiting the use of dynamic MRL data.
  • Investigating intratreatment MRL signals is crucial for unlocking their full predictive value.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the existence of dynamic intratreatment signals in MR-Linac data.
  • To explore methods for discovering these temporal signal changes.
  • To establish the value of daily MRL imaging for outcome prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of T2-weighted and diffusion MR-Linac data in prostate cancer patients.
  • Application of fMRI-inspired exploratory analyses to detect temporal signal changes.
  • Correlation of dose deposition with T2w signal changes in pelvic bone tissue.

Main Results:

  • Prostate T2w signal decreased, while GTV signal remained constant; GTV diffusion coefficient increased.
  • fMRI-inspired analysis revealed localized prostate T2w signal changes and effects in surrounding tissues and bone.
  • Pelvic bone T2w signal showed a dose-threshold response, with significant change starting at 1 Gy.

Conclusions:

  • fMRI-inspired analyses successfully identified temporal, non-linear trends in MR-Linac data.
  • These findings support the potential of dynamic MRL data for future biomarker research.
  • Pelvic bone exhibits a dose-threshold response to radiation, commencing at 1 Gy.
