ABSTRACT
High quality radiation therapy requires highly accurate and precise dose delivery. MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT), integrating an MRI scanner with a linear accelerator, offers excellent quality images in the treatment room without subjecting patient to ionizing radiation. MRgRT therefore provides a powerful tool for intrafraction motion management. This paper summarizes different sources of intrafraction motion for different disease sites and describes the MR imaging techniques available to visualize and quantify intrafraction motion. It provides an overview of MR guided motion management strategies and of the current technical capabilities of the commercially available MRgRT systems. It describes how these motion management capabilities are currently being used in clinical studies, protocols and provides a future outlook.
