Summary
This presentation will introduce current clinical concepts of magnetic resonance (MR)- guided radiotherapy (RT) highlighting main clinical benefits and use cases. Methodological approaches, such as offline and online MR-guided RT as well as emerging concepts like real-time adaptive MR-guided RT or response adaptive RT based on quantitative MR will be discussed.
Illustrations of clinical evidence and current challenges will be based on clinical examples and recent studies or literature.
