Abstract

Radiation therapy has been on the march toward highly eonformal and precise placement human body. Development of image-guidance systems based upon x-ray and ultrasound have to the level of a few millimeters of uncertainty in many sites. However, there are a subset of existing appheat ons and Potentially many new applications that could be improved upon or pursued if greater targeting acuracy could be achieved. This is motivating the creation of magnetic resonance image-guided radiation treatment units (MRgRT) that either operate simultaneously or provide pre-treatment MR-based targeting capabilities. In this review, the motivation for these pursuits, an overview of recent developments, and a commentary on the challenges they face is presented.
