Evaluation of internal target volume of abdominal tumors using cine‐MRI
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The detailed anatomy visualization with magnetic resonance (MR)‐guided radiotherapy is particularly attractive for abdominal treatments, but patient respiratory motion can compromise image quality. The “navigator technique” produces high‐quality 3D images, triggered by diaphragm displacement, in exhale phase only.
