Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has exquisite soft-tissue contrast and is the foundation for image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with integrated magnetic resonance linacs. However, MRI suffers from geometrical distortions. In this study the MRI system- and patient-induced geometric distortion at four different tumor-sites was investigated: adrenal gland (7 patients), liver (4 patients), pancreas (6 patients), prostate (20 patients). Maximum level of total distortion within the gross-tumor-volume (GTV) was 0.96 mm with no significant difference between abdominal patients (adrenal gland, liver, pancreas) and pelvic patients (prostate). Total tumor-site specific distortion depended on location in the field-of-view and increased with the distance to MRI iso-center.
磁共振成像(MRI)具有出色的软组织对比度,是集成磁共振直线加速器图像引导放射治疗(IGRT)的基础。然而,MRI存在几何畸变。在本研究中,对四个不同肿瘤部位的MRI系统及患者引起的几何畸变进行了研究:肾上腺(7例患者)、肝脏(4例患者)、胰腺(6例患者)、前列腺(20例患者)。大体肿瘤体积(GTV)内的总畸变最大水平为0.96毫米,腹部患者(肾上腺、肝脏、胰腺)和盆腔患者(前列腺)之间无显著差异。总的肿瘤部位特异性畸变取决于在视野中的位置,并随着与MRI等中心距离的增加而增大。
