研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if it would be helpful to use advanced MRI imaging techniques to take additional views of the tumor target for radiation treatment planning or treatment follow-up MRI.
详细描述
The results of this research project will be used to establish a standard MRI protocol specific to each tumor or disease site. An MRI protocol is a list of MR image types that are acquired for each disease site. These images are used to generate the patient's treatment plan.

时间窗: up to 4 weeks from imaging
We tested these Advanced MR protocols to evaluate which ones would best visualize the target region. This helped us determine the optimum MR SIM protocols for different sites that became clinical standard.
