Head-and-Neck MRI-only radiotherapy treatment planning: From acquisition in treatment position to pseudo-CT generation.

CONCLUSION: We quantified the image quality decrease induces by using an RT-setup for head-and-neck radiotherapy. To compensate this decrease, an MRI protocol was optimised by using an experimental design. This protocol of 15minutes provides accurate images which could be used for MRI-dose-planning in clinical practice.
