Table 1.
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 |
