Background summary
With the MR Linac, we can visualize tumors before and even during irradiation
and apply corrections for (respiratory) motion and thus provide accurate
treatment in the future. It is, however, challenging to make good quality
images in the presence of respiratory movement. Therefore, the development of
new imaging techniques, including 4D-MRI and dynamic MRI, is needed. These MRI
scans will be tested among others for their fitness for motion correction
before and during treatment
Study objective
Development of new imaging techniques for MR-guided motion management in the
presence of respiratory motion
Study design
feasibility study with healthy volunteers
Study burden and risks
MRI is considered a very safe and painless medical imaging procedure and there
is no known health risk associated with scanning when appropriate precautions
are taken. The magnetic field strength (1.5 Tesla) is routinely used clinically
without harm.
A MRI examination will not last longer than 1 hour.
