"Repeatability of MRI for radiotherapy planning for pelvic, brain, and " by Monique Y. Heinke, Lois Holloway et al.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the repeatability of MRI for the purpose of radiotherapy treatment planning by considering the difference in registering MRI to MRI compared to registering CT and MRI. Methods: Fifty patients undergoing radiotherapy planning for gynaecological, prostate, rectal, head and neck and CNS malignancies had a planning CT followed by two T2-weighted MRIs. Anatomical landmarks were contoured on each dataset and the images were rigidly registered. Centre of Mass (COM), Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), and Mean Distance to Agreement (MDA) were calcu...
