Intrafraction organ movement in adaptive MR-guided radiotherapy of abdominal lesions - dosimetric impact and how to detect its extent in advance. [PDF]
Magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) allows daily adaptation of treatment plans to compensate for positional changes of target volumes and organs at risk (OARs). However, current adaptation times are relatively long and organ movement occurring

Preliminary study of cine-MRI compression in MR-guided radiotherapy. [PDF]
Cine-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently used in real-time tumor tracking during magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiotherapy. As a type of MRI specified for motion tracking, a few minutes' acquisition results in thousands of 2-dimensional (2D) images.

Review of MR-Guided Radiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer. [PDF]
In this review, we outline the potential benefits and the future role of MRI and MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) in the management of esophageal cancer. Although not currently used in most clinical practice settings, MRI is a useful non-invasive imaging modality that provides excellent soft tissue contrast and the ability to visualize cancer physiology.
