In recent years MRI has developed into an imaging modality with great potential for several medical disciplines including radiotherapy. A feature of particular relevance to radiotherapy is the possibility to depict arbitrarily orientated slices. Using multislice imaging techniques one can determine and describe tumour volume and extension in several directions. By doing so prior to and during radiotherapy it is possible to monitor response to treatment. In this case report of a patient treated for carcinoma of the uterine cervix the use of this MRI information is demonstrated.
近年来，磁共振成像（MRI）已发展成为一种对包括放射治疗在内的多个医学学科具有巨大潜力的成像方式。与放射治疗特别相关的一个特点是能够描绘任意取向的切片。使用多层成像技术，可以在多个方向上确定和描述肿瘤的体积和范围。在放射治疗之前和期间这样做，可以监测治疗反应。在这份关于一名接受子宫颈癌治疗的患者的病例报告中，展示了这种MRI信息的使用情况。
