We demonstrated a general method to evaluate systematic errors related to Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging sequences in marker-based co-registration of MR and Computed Tomography (CT) images, and investigated the effect of MR image quality in the co-registration process using clinical MR and CT protocols for stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) planning of the liver. Small systematic errors (under 1.6 mm) were detected, unlikely to be a clinical risk to liver SABR. The least favourable marker configuration was found to be a co-planar arrangement parallel to the transaxial image plane.
我们展示了一种通用方法,用于评估磁共振(MR)成像序列在基于标记的MR与计算机断层扫描(CT)图像配准中相关的系统误差,并使用临床MR和CT协议对肝脏立体定向消融放疗(SABR)计划,研究了MR图像质量在配准过程中的影响。检测到较小的系统误差(小于1.6毫米),对肝脏SABR不太可能构成临床风险。发现最不利的标记配置是与横断面图像平面平行的共面排列。
