MR-LINAC-Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy for Gastric MALT: Two Case Reports and a Literature Review
It is still very challenging to use conventional radiation therapy techniques to treat stomach tumors, although image-guided radiotherapy, mainly by kV X-ray imaging techniques, has become routine in the clinic.

Feasibility of tumour-focused adaptive radiotherapy for bladder cancer on the MR-linac
Bladder tumour-focused magnetic resonance image-guided adaptive radiotherapy using a 1.5 Tesla MR-linac is feasible. A full online workflow adapting to anatomy at each fraction is achievable in approximately 30 min. Intra-fraction bladder filling did not

The future of image-guided radiotherapy will be MR guided [PDF]
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.

Practical guidelines of online MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy
Abstract The first magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiotherapy system in Japan was installed in May 2017. Implementation of online MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) began in February 2018. Online MRgART offers greater treatment accuracy owing to the high soft-tissue contrast in MR-images (MRI), compared to that in X-ray imaging ...

Feasibility of magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy for the treatment of bladder cancer
Whole bladder magnetic resonance image-guided radiotherapy using the 1.5 Telsa MR-linac is feasible. Full online adaptive planning workflow based on the anatomy seen at each fraction was performed. This was delivered within 45 min. Intra-fraction bladder

Magnetic resonance imaging for localization of prostate cancer in the setting of biochemical recurrence [PDF]
The clinical suspicion of local recurrence of prostate cancer after radical treatment is based on the onset of biochemical failure. The use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for prostate cancer has increased over recent years, mainly ...
