Advancing the treatment of localized prostate cancer with MR-guided radiotherapy [PDF]
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases, 2022 External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is an important cornerstone in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. Current image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) techniques allow for more accurate and precise delivery of radiation treatment by the use of imaging before each fraction.

The future of image-guided radiotherapy will be MR guided [PDF]
The British Journal of Radiology, 2017 Advances in image-guided radiotherapy (RT) have allowed for dose escalation and more precise radiation treatment delivery. Each decade brings new imaging technologies to help improve RT patient setup. Currently, the most frequently used method of three-dimensional pre-treatment image verification is performed with cone beam CT.
