Real-time MRI-guided radiotherapy with deep learning
Maarten Lennart Terpstra
Abstract:Radiotherapy is a common treatment for cancer, which uses radiation to destroy cancer cells. The goal is to deliver a high dose to the tumor without irradiating healthy tissue, but the organ motion due to, for example, respiration makes this difficult.
You can see what you treat by irradiating patients with hybrid MRI/radiation devices (MRI-Linac). With real-time adaptive MRI-guided radiotherapy (MRIgRT), the radiation beam is continuously adjusted to compensate for respiratory motion.
A major challenge is… Show more
