Using Rapid Cine-MRI for Monitoring Moving and Deforming Tumors

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer

In brief

In this study, the researchers investigate the feasibility of using rapid cine MR imaging to provide both offline and online soft-tissue-based image guidance. Such images will provide a significantly more complete picture of the spatial and temporal changes in thoracic anatomy. This more complete information will lay the groundwork for better radiotherapy planning and dose delivery in the presence of respiratory motion.
