AI Article Synopsis
- MRI plays a crucial role in planning stereotactic radiotherapy for brain tumors due to its superior soft-tissue contrast and spatial resolution.
- MRI distortion can lead to significant misalignments in radiotherapy planning, potentially affecting treatment outcomes.
- This case report illustrates the impact of MRI distortion on dose distribution in stereotactic radiotherapy.
Article Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now essential in stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) planning for brain tumors because of its excellence in soft-tissue contrast and high spatial resolution. However, MRI distortion is sometimes difficult to recognize, and it may cause large misalignments in radiotherapy planning. In this case report, we will show how much difference in the dose distribution of SRT can be made by using MRI without distortion correction.
