Purpose: Respiration-induced tumor or organ positional changes can impact the accuracy of external beam radiotherapy. Motion management strategies are used to account for these changes during treatment. The authors report on the development, testing, and first-in-human evaluation of an electronic 4D (e4D) MR-compatible ultrasound probe that was designed for hands-free operation in a MR and linear accelerator (LINAC) environment.

- A real-time, 3D ultrasound probe was developed for better motion management in radiation therapy for liver cancer, featuring a compact design and advanced imaging capabilities.
- The probe utilizes an 18,000-element matrix array with high frequency (3.6 MHz) and broad fractional bandwidth (85%) for detailed imaging while being compatible with magnetic resonance technology.
- Innovative shielding techniques were implemented to reduce radiofrequency noise, allowing for simultaneous high-quality ultrasound and magnetic resonance images with minimal artifacts.
