Abstract:To quantify interfraction esophagus motion during thoracic SBRT using MRI-guided radiation therapy (RT). Materials/Methods: We reviewed computed tomography (CT) simulation and on-treatment MR datasets of 7 patients obtained using a 0.3-T MRguided RT system. Image registration was based on bony anatomy from the cricoid to the gastroesophageal junction and defined as upper, mid, and lower esophagus. The planning CT was compared to 3 treatment MRI scans obtained during initial, middle, and final fractions at slic… Show more
