A Review of the Australian MRI Linac Program: From Pie in the Sky to Research Milestone

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Australian Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Linear Accelerator program (MRI linac) was a major research project that aimed to build and test a unique MRI linac prototype for cancer treatment. It aimed to improve radiotherapy anatomical targeting and explore physiological targeting. The purpose of this report is to summarise the development

Empty Versus Full Bladder Protocols in Radiotherapy Planning for Localised Prostate Cancer: A Dosimetric Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background When planning prostate radiotherapy, full bladder preparation is widely used to displace bowel and bladder from high‐dose regions but is difficult to reproduce and can prolong workflows. Methods Twenty men with localised prostate cancer ± seminal vesicles underwent CT simulation with full and empty bladders.
