Recent advances in MRI-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) and deep learning techniques encourage fully adaptive radiation therapy (ART), real-time MRI monitoring, and the MRI-only treatment planning workflow. Given the rapid growth and emergence of new...
BACKGROUND: Current commercially available hybrid magnetic resonance linear accelerators (MR-Linac) use 2D+t cine MR imaging to provide intra-fractional motion monitoring. However, given the limited temporal resolution of cine MR imaging, target intr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous studies on automatic delineation quality assurance (QA) have mostly focused on CT-based planning. As MRI-guided radiotherapy is increasingly utilized in prostate cancer treatment, there is a need for more research on ...
PURPOSE: MRI is increasingly utilized for image-guided radiotherapy due to its outstanding soft-tissue contrast and lack of ionizing radiation. However, geometric distortions caused by gradient nonlinearities (GNLs) limit anatomical accuracy, potenti...
. Using MV images for real-time image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is ideal as it does not require additional imaging equipment, adds no additional imaging dose and provides motion data in the treatment beam frame of reference. However, accurate t...
