Presentations
MO-D-PinS Room/Hall E-0 (Monday, August 1, 2016) 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM Room: Partners in Solution in Exhibit Hall E
MRI, with its excellent soft tissue contrast and its ability to provide physiological as well as anatomical information, is becoming increasingly used in radiation therapy for treatment planning, image-guided radiation therapy, and treatment evaluation. This session will explore solutions to integrating MRI into the simulation process. Obstacles for using MRI for simulation include distortions and artifacts, image acquisition speed, complexity of imaging techniques, and lack of electron density information. Partners in Solutions presents vendor representatives who will present their approaches to meeting these challenges and others. An increased awareness of how MRI simulation works will allow physicists to better understand and use this powerful technique.
Funding Support, Disclosures, and Conflict of Interest: The speakers are all employees who are presenting information about their company's products.
