Dosimetric evaluation of synthetic CT for magnetic resonance-only based radiotherapy planning of lung cancer

Dosimetric evaluation of synthetic CT for magnetic resonance-only based radiotherapy planning of lung cancer

Abstract Background Interest in MR-only treatment planning for radiation therapy is growing rapidly with the emergence of integrated MRI/linear accelerator technology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using synthetic CT images generated from conventional Dixon-based MRI s...
