Improving fiducial and prostate capsule visualization for radiotherapy planning using MRI

Background and purpose Intraprostatic fiducial markers ( FM ) improve the accuracy of radiotherapy ( RT ) delivery. Here we assess geometric integrity and contouring consistency using a T2*‐weighted (T2*W) sequence alone, which allows visualization of the FM . Material and methods Ten patients scanned within the Prostate Advances in Comparative Evidence ( PACE ) trial ( NCT 01584258) had prostate images acquired with computed tomography ( CT )...
