In this study, we measured respiratory induced kidney
motion in young children with abdominal neuroblastoma
using both 4D-CT and real-time MRI to evaluate tracking
accuracy. Real-time MRI provides a more desirable tissue
contrast of the kidney and had about two times higher
spatial resolution in the superior/inferior direction
compared to 4D-CT which enabled superior demarcation of
organ boundaries, anatomical tracking, and improved
accuracy.
