Magnetic Resonance Guided Radical Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer in the Presence of Bilateral Hip Prostheses: First Experience With a 1.5 T Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator
Radiation therapy (RT) is a well-established treatment modality for the management of prostate cancer (PC) [1]. Optimization of RT for PC requires adequate definition of target volumes and organs at risk (OARs) and sparing of healthy tissues surrounding prostate [2]. Given the high median age of PC at diagnosis, the concurrent presence of hip prostheses (HP) is relatively common [3]. These metallic implants generate artifacts in computed tomography (CT) scans used for treatment planning, affecting the accuracy of both contouring and dose calculation, particularly in presence of bilateral HP (BHP) [4,5].
