In an MRI-only workflow, high geometric fidelity of the MRI data is required. Head and neck (H&N) cancer patients, however, frequently have implants, e.g., dental restorations, causing distortions of the MRI data. Geometric offset maps were computed using B0-map calculated from the Dixon-sequence included in the standard clinical protocol. Even though the implants included in this pre-study did not contribute with a significant geometric offset in the delineated target volume, visualization of the geometric offset maps as such bring additional important information when delineating structures in an MRI-only H&N workflow and could thereby become a promising tool in clinical practice.
