Direct dose correlation of MRI morphologic alterations of healthy liver tissue after robotic liver SBRT

ConclusionsEarly post-treatment changes in healthy liver tissue after robotic SBRT could spatially be correlated to respective isodoses. Median nominal doses of 10.1 –11.3 Gy per fraction (EQD2 79–97 Gy3) induce characteristic morphologic alterations surrounding the lesions, potentially allowing for dosimetric in-vivo accuracy assessments. Comparison to other techniques and investigations of the short- and long-term clinical impact require further research.
