Abstract
Published guidelines for image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) of cervix cancer recommend the use of T2-weighted (T2W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, we introduce a novel method for MRI-guided IGBT that incorporates the use of multiple MRI sequences: T2W imaging, proton density weighted (PDW) imaging, and diffusion weighted-apparent diffusion coefficient (DW-ADC) mapping. We demonstrate how use of this multi-sequence MRI technique can facilitate adaptive planning over the course of treatment.
