What does this mean?

  • Future of MR in radiotherapy

     

    Prof. Dr. Marco van Vulpen and Ir. Dr. Nico van den Berg, UMC Utrecht cancer center, the Netherlands – are talking about the collaboration with Philips, which contributes to opening new treatment pathways for MR-guided therapies.

  • Ingenia MR-RT with MR simulation package4 for Elekta MR-linac4

     

    The Philips Ingenia MR-RT simulation platform with MR linac simulation package will be an ideal complement to Elekta Unity. With consistent workflows and image quality from MR simulation through to online MR guidance during radiation treatment, it will let you exploit the many similarities and synergies between Philips Ingenia MR-RT and Elekta Unity. A common high-field image generation technology enabling similar image quality, similar MR console user interfaces, as well as similar coil setup and patient positioning workflows will help enhance reproducibility, accelerate learning curves and drive continuity across the care path.

Whether for external beam radiation therapy (RT) or brachytherapy, integrating MR imaging into CT‑based planning can harness the power of MRI and transform patient management. With MRI’s excellent soft-tissue contrast, you can clearly see the tumor and organs at risk. So you can support accuracy in delineation and design the best possible treatment plans.Image courtesy of William Beaumont Health System, Detroit, USA

Know you can rely on MRI performance. Evaluate the geometric fidelity in a large field of view with the ready-to-use QA package. Tailored for RT planning, it includes a dedicated phantom and analysis software.Since most steps are fully automated, you can perform routine volumetric evaluations efficiently and in a repeatable manner right from the MRI console.

Highly-targeted RT plans rely on reproducible patient positioning in the treatment position. Unique to Philips, the integrated MR-RT CouchTop frees up in-bore space while improving SNR by bringing patients closer to the posterior coil¹.Complete with indexing, the CouchTop accommodates a variety of MRI-compatible immobilization accessories from main vendors.

Refine workflows with a system that fits how you work. The optional LAP DORADOnova MR3T laser positioning system supports enhanced MR-CT registration since it allows you to align patients at the MRI scanner. One-click travel-to-scan moves patients directly to the MRI system isocenter after laser alignment, thereby reducing workflow steps

Available as a plug-in extension of Ingenia MR-RT, MR-only simulation allows you to adopt a single modality imaging approach for prostate cancer patients that provides excellent soft-tissue contrast you trust for target delineation – plus density information for dose calculations. Fast scanning protocols and embedded post-processing steps generate MRCAT (MR for Calculating ATtenuation) images on the MR console in just few minutes with the density information you’d expect from CT.
