Detailed Description
-
Objectives
-
Assess the feasibility of performing MRI scans in the treatment position for accurate treatment planning and dose delivery in spinal stereotactic body radiation therapy (spinal SBRT).
-
Characterize the improved accuracy of image fusion between MRI and CT and its dosimetric impact when performing MRI scans in treatment position in spinal SBRT.
-
Assess the ability of MRI simulation to accurately target extended spinal targets beyond the current targeting limitations (>3 consecutive vertebral body levels)
-
Optimize the workflow of using MRI simulation in treatment planning and dose delivery.
