Table 1.

Opportunities and challenges of MR-only workflow for prostate radiotherapy.

Opportunities Challenges
Removes inaccuracies of MR-CT fusion Need for electron density information
Improved soft tissue contrast of the prostate on MR Need pelvic wide field of view MR (to skin surface)
Improved efficiency Geometric fidelity of wide-field MRI
Ability to contour dominant lesion boost on MR Lack of MR capacity in radiotherapy departments
Remove requirement for fiducials if delivery with MRgRT Need for back up plan (and fiducials) if only one MR-Linac in department
