MO‐A‐WAB‐01: MRI‐Guided Radiation Therapy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The concept of integrating a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner with a therapy radiation source, either a therapy linear accelerator (linac) or 60 Co, emerged as a feasible novel approach for MRI‐guided radiation therapy (i.e. MRIgRT or MRgRT) in recent years. The main motivation for the technological development of such radiotherapy systems is to provide state of the art MR imaging inside the treatment room to guide the treatment delivery. MRI offers the capability to visualize soft‐tissue as well as to perform physiological assessment of healthy and tumor tissues. The aim of MRIgRT is to facilitate adaptive radiotherapy by using on demand MRI data to update and personalize patient treatments.The MRI‐linac/ 60 Co system integration is a challenging task due to the intrinsic default incompatibility between the sub‐components. Multiple interdependent issues need to be resolved in order to achieve the optimal operation of the MRI scanner and the radiation source(s) such as: a) radiofrequency (RF) interference, b) magnetic field coupling, c) perturbation of the dose deposited in tissue due to the presence of an external magnetic field, and d) escalation of patient skin dose. This translates into solving a complex optimization problem which drives the overall system architecture. The session will provide an overview of the MRI‐guided radiation therapy systems. The speakers will present the specifics of their proposed designs and the latest technological developments (hardware and software). They will also discuss key aspects related to the clinical implementation of their systems such as safety, applications, workflows, quality control, staffing models for supporting the infrastructure, and preliminary data. Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the main concepts of MRI‐guided radiation therapy; 2. Understand the issues and proposed solutions related to the integration of MRI‐guided radiotherapy systems; 3. Understand the advantages and limitations of MRI‐guided radiotherapy systems.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
