Abstract:
In recent years,there has been a considerable research effort concerning the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the external radiotherapy.This paper reviewed the progress of MRI in radiotherapy for cancer,such as magnetic resonance simulator,target volumes,dose calculation and efficacy evaluation.Furthermore,the potential applications of 4D-MRI and MRI guided radiotherapy are summarized.
