- Description
- Radiotherapy planning for lung cancer typically requires both 3D and 4D Computed Tomography (CT) to account for respiratory related movement. 4D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with self-navigation offers a potential alternative with greater reliability in patients with irregular breathing patterns and improved soft tissue contrast. In this study 4D-CT and a 4D-MRI Radial Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold Examination (VIBE) sequence was evaluated with a 4D phantom and 13 patient respiratory patterns, simulating tumour motion. Quantification of motion related tumour displacement in 4D-MRI and 4D-CT found no statistically significant difference in mean motion range. The results demonstrated the potential viability of 4D-MRI for lung cancer treatment planning.
