We propose an efficient sequence for the acquisition of multiple contrasts for MR-only radiotherapy. By including T2-weighted echoes to a gradient echo sequence, this sequence provides T1- and T2-weighted imaging and water-fat separation in a single 4 minute acquisition. A previously trained deep neural network for synthetic CT generation was successfully applied to this new sequence, demonstrating that synthetic CT-based dose calculations can be performed. Furthermore, increased contrast between the anatomies of interest shows promise for (automatic) segmentation.
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
