The future of MRI in radiation therapy: Challenges and opportunities for the MR community

Abstract: Radiation therapy is a major component of cancer treatment pathways worldwide. The main aim of this treatment is to achieve tumor control through the delivery of ionizing radiation while preserving healthy tissues for minimal radiation toxicity. Because radiation therapy relies on accurate localization of the target and surrounding tissues, imaging plays a crucial role throughout the treatment chain. In the treatment planning phase, radiological images are essential for defining target volumes and organs-at-ri… Show more

“…In summary, this issue serves as a further compelling evidence for the continuous contribution and promise of AI-based strategies for the MRI field. We expect that the upcoming years will see a consistent rise in the practical use of AI in medical imaging, with further impact on emerging applications, such as low-field MRI [ 89 , 90 ] and real-time MRI for MR-guided interventions [ 91 , 92 , 93 ].…”

“…Day‐to‐day implementation and management of MRI safety policies for staff and patients can be particularly challenging in the absence of an experienced MRI radiographer. As advanced functional imaging techniques are introduced 1 , 12 to support biological image guided adaptive radiotherapy techniques (BIGART), greater support from experienced MR radiographers will be critical.…”

“…Improvements in radiation therapy treatment planning (RTP) and delivery are reliant on accurately visualising and localising the tumour as well as normal tissue structures. 1 , 2 Traditionally, computed tomography (CT) imaging has been used for treatment planning, primarily due to its high spatial resolution, geometric accuracy and electron density information needed for beam attenuation and dose calculation. 3 , 4 However, with an increase in the number of people surviving cancer, greater emphasis is now placed on reducing the side effects of radiation therapy (RT) treatment.…”
