MRI is known to provide a superior soft tissue contrast when compared to CT. MR simulation offers the potential of improving target and organ at risk delineation and is therefore playing an increasingly important role in the Radiation Therapy (RT) planning workflow. Here a lightweight, highly flexible, novel coil prototype for head and neck is presented, demonstrating that a patient friendly MR-only simulation workflow for standard MR imaging and pseudo CT conversion is feasible in a clinical setting and compatible with RT fixation devices.
