The integration of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and linear accelerators into hybrid treatment systems has made MR-guided radiation therapy a clinical reality. This work aims to evaluate the influence of the Electron Return Effect (ERE) on the dose distributions. This study was conducted using MRIdian (ViewRay, Cleveland, Ohio) system.

No data are now available in the septal VT substrate setting, representing a challenge when using conventional techniques.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the arrhythmic burden in patients with septal VT treated with magnetic resonance-guided STAR (MRgSTAR).
Background: Severe infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) have been reported increasingly over the past few years. Many in-vivo and in-vitro studies have suggested a possible role of intravenous fosfomycin for the treatment of CRAB infections.
Methods: This multi-centre, retrospective study included patients treated with intravenous fosfomycin for severe infections caused by CRAB admitted consecutively to four hospitals in Italy from December 2017 to December 2022.
Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides information on morpho-functional abnormalities and myocardial tissue characterisation. Appropriate indications for CMR in athletes are uncertain.
Objective: To analyse the CMR performed at our Institute to evaluate variables associated with pathologic findings in a large cohort of athletes presenting with different clinical conditions.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effects of stereotactic MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy (SMART) on early toxicity and tumor response in rectal cancer patients.
- Twenty patients with locally advanced rectal cancer underwent SMART treatment with promising outcomes, as no severe adverse effects were noted and all patients experienced pathological downstaging.
- The research concludes that SMART is a well-tolerated and effective treatment for rectal cancer, particularly when patients have a delay before surgery.
