Due to its excellent soft tissue contrast, MRI is
integrated as an adjunct to computed tomography
simulation (CT-SIM) for radiotherapy (RT) treatment
planning to assist in tumor and organ at risk
delineation. Recently, dedicated MR simulation (MR-SIM)
platforms for radiation oncology have been introduced,
although paucity in the literature exists on how to
fully implement MR-SIM into the clinic. This work
describes our experience with characterizing system
performance, establishes quality assurance (QA)
programs, and sets the context for dedicated MR-SIM for
RT. We developed QA procedures and workflow necessary to
implement MR-SIM into treatment planning and demonstrate
its clinical use.
