| الوصف: | Background and Purpose: Four-dimensional (4D) computed tomography (CT) is widely used in radiotherapy (RT) planning and remains the current standard for motion evaluation. We assess a 4D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence in terms of motion and image quality in a phantom, healthy volunteers and patients undergoing RT. Materials and Methods: The 4D-MRI sequence is a prototype T1-weighted 3D gradient echo with radial acquisition with self-gating. The accuracy of the 4D-MRI respiratory sorting based method was assessed using a MRI-CT compatible respiratory simulation phantom. In volunteers, abdominal viscera were evaluated for artefact, noise, structure delineation and overall image quality using a previously published four-point scoring system. In patients undergoing abdominal RT, the tumour (or a surrogate) was utilized to assess the range of motion on both 4D-CT and 4D-MRI. Furthermore, imaging quality was evaluated for both 4D-CT and 4D-MRI. Results: In phantom studies 4D-MRI demonstrated amplitude of motion error of less than 0.2 mm for five, seven and ten bins. 4D-MRI provided excellent image quality for liver, kidney and pancreas. In patients, the median amplitude of motion seen on 4D-CT and 4D-MRI was 11.2 mm (range 2.8–20.3 mm) and 10.1 mm (range 0.7–20.7 mm) respectively. The median difference in amplitude between 4D-CT and 4D-MRI was −0.6 mm (range −3.4–5.2 mm). 4D-MRI demonstrated superior edge detection (median score 3 versus 1) and overall image quality (median score 2 versus 1) compared to 4D-CT. Conclusions: The prototype 4D-MRI sequence demonstrated promising results and may be used in abdominal targeting, motion gating, and towards implementing MRI-based adaptive RT.
