Abstract
The use of MRI in radiotherapy planning and simulation is increasing rapidly and is beginning to be integrated into the external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) treatment process. Some have suggested that integrated MRI-linac systems, not the standalone MRI-Sim, represents the future of MRI in radiotherapy, and this is the claim debated in this month's Point/Counterpoint.
