Abstract
MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) has been shown as a promising technology to further improve radiation treatment accuracy toward precision radiation oncology. MRgRT allows simultaneous MR imaging with radiation delivery, providing superior visualization of the soft tissues during treatment and enabling real-time tumor motion monitoring. In addition, MRgRT permits online adaptation of treatment plans to account for daily soft-tissue deformation. However, MRgRT involves complex workflows and requires intensive resource, advanced technology development, and a comprehensive process-based quality management. This presentation will cover the workflow of MRgRT, the underlying technology enabling MRgRT with online adaptive radiotherapy, and the quality assurance to guarantee a successful MRgRT implementation.
