Integration of MRI Imaging and Radiation Delivery for Cancer Treatment
FY 2019-20 · 2020-01-01
Summary
MagnetTx Oncology Solutions is developing a hybrid radiotherapy device that combines a medical linear accelerator with an MRI scanner to produce the ultimate radiotherapy treatment device. This project will develop the imaging software tools required to integrate the MR images into the treatment sequence to allow pretreatment images to be compared to treatment planning images to allow the patient to be precisely positioned for their treatment. Integrating MR images into the radiotherapy treatment machine will ultimately provide better treatments for the cancer patients in Alberta, Canada and the world.

Description (French)
MagnetTx Oncology Solutions développe un appareil de radiothérapie hybride qui combine un accélérateur linéaire médical avec un scanner IRM pour produire le meilleur appareil de radiothérapie. Ce projet permettra de développer les outils logiciels d'imagerie nécessaires pour intégrer les images RM dans la séquence de traitement afin de permettre la comparaison des images de prétraitement aux images de planification du traitement et de permettre au patient d'être positionné avec précision pour son traitement. L'intégration d'images par résonance magnétique dans l'appareil de radiothérapie permettra d'offrir au bout du compte de meilleurs traitements aux patients atteints de cancer en Alberta, au Canada, et dans le monde.
