Towards rapid and efficient simulation-free radiotherapy: MR guided adaptive prostate radiotherapy on the MR-Linac using diagnostic MRI reference planning
This study has shown that non radiotherapy-dedicated diagnostic MRI can be used for reference prostate planning on the MR-Linac, generating clinically equivalent adapted plans when compared to those originating from radiotherapy-simulation reference plans. This potentially saves multiple weeks in the pathway, improving radiotherapy efficiency and patient experience.
