The definition of tumor involved volumes in patients with head and neck cancer poses great
challenges with the increasing use of highly conformal radiotherapy techniques eg …

Radiation therapy (RT), in particular intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), is
becoming a more important nonsurgical treatment strategy in head and neck cancer (HNC) …

Adaptive radiotherapy performed on the daily magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an
option to improve the treatment quality. In the adapt-to-shape workflow of 1.5-T MR-Linac …

Background and purpose MRI-only planning relies on dosimetrically accurate synthetic-CT
(sCT) generation to allow dose calculation. Here we validated the dosimetric accuracy of …

Results Figure 1 shows examples of the constructed sCTs with the original MR images of
each scanner. The mean HU difference for the sCTs was 11 HUs and 90 HUs in the soft and …

Results A total of 160 cine MR sagittal image sets were evaluated, with a median duration of
798 seconds (range, 552-1068 seconds). For the entire patient group, the mean number of …
