The case for MRI use in brain tumor simulation and planning

Precision is paramount in radiation therapy for brain tumors to ensure effective treatment while protecting healthy tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential tool in treatment planning, offering exceptional soft tissue contrast, superior anatomical detail, and functional imaging capabilities.

MRI-based simulation and planning for better accuracy and reduced toxicity in prostate cancer

Prostate cancer treatment demands precision to balance effective therapy with minimal side effects. Advances in the use of MRI for simulation and planning in radiation therapy have revolutionized how clinicians visualize and target tumors, offering new possibilities for tailored and adaptive care.

How a dedicated MRI resource can impact radiation therapy

In radiation therapy simulation and planning, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides superior soft tissue contrast and has become the gold standard for imaging prostate, brain, liver, head and neck tumors, showing improvements in target delineation accuracy.

Transforming radiotherapy: the benefits of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in precision oncology

Both MRI and CT have earned their place as essential imaging modalities for radiation oncologists, each offering unique strengths that complement the other. MRI offers distinct advantages for adaptive radiation therapy planning, particularly for tumors.
