Magnetic Resonance Imaging Simulation for Anal and Rectal Cancer – Optimising the Patient Experience

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simulation is the acquisition of MRI sequences in the radiotherapy treatment position for radiotherapy treatment planning purposes. The primary benefit of MRI simulation within the radiotherapy treatment pathway is the improved soft-tissue contrast of MRI compared with computed tomography (CT), which improves the visualisation of target volumes and organs at risk [[1]Owrangi A.M.
