Quality assurance measurements of geometric accuracy for magnetic resonance imaging-based radiotherapy treatment planning

Background Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the only imaging method for radiotherapy treatment planning (RTP) is becoming more common as MRI-only RTP solutions have evolved. The geometric accuracy of MR images is an essential factor of image quality when determining the suitability of MRI for RTP. The need is therefore clear for clinically feasible quality assurance (QA) methods for the geometric accuracy measurement. Materials and...
