Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiation therapy (MRIgRT) has improved soft tissue contrast over computed tomography (CT) based image-guided RT. Superior visualization of the target and surrounding radiosensitive structures has the potential to improve oncological outcomes partly due to safer dose-escalation and adaptive planning. In this review, we highlight the workflow of adaptive MRIgRT planning, which includes simulation imaging, daily MRI, identifying isocenter shifts, contouring, plan optimization, quality control, and delivery. Increased utilization of MRIgRT will depend on addressing technical limitations of this technology, while addressing treatment efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and workflow training.
