Published purpose

The firm's radiotherapy system combines an MRI system with a linear accelerator to provide high quality patient images to ensure they are properly aligned prior to delivering radiation therapy. This project will improve the efficiency of the MRI imaging system and develop robust patient registration. The system currently generates a 3D image as a single acquisition, which takes about 4 minutes. This will enable generating the 3D image as a series of 2D images to allow the user to see the first image almost immediately. This enables the firm to implement an automated registration process that will do a 3D registration based on three orthogonal images. The registration will occur in less than 1 minute, which will significantly increase our our imaging efficiency.
