Accurate, repeatable, and geometrically precise diffusion-weighted imaging on a 0.35 T magnetic resonance imaging-guided linear accelerator

Accurate, repeatable, and geometrically precise diffusion-weighted imaging on a 0.35 T magnetic resonance imaging-guided linear accelerator

Background and purpose: Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) allows for the interrogation of tissue cellularity, which is a surrogate for cellular proliferation. Previous attempts to incorporate DWI into the workflow of a 0.35 T MR-linac (MRL) have lacked quantitative accuracy. In this study, accuracy,...
