- Which factor is the main contributor to prostate motion during MR‐guided radiotherapy (MRgRT)?
- Variations in magnetic field strength
- Bladder filling and rectal gas movement
- Patient anxiety
- Respiratory motion
- During adaptive MRgRT, why is real‐time motion monitoring particularly critical during the adaptation phase?
- Prolonged contour adjustment and plan recalculation allow natural organ shift.
- Rapid beam‐on delivery causes sudden prostate shifts.
- Fusion planning during adaptation deforms prostate.
- Respiratory motion peaks during adaptation.
- How does cine‐MRI motion monitoring improve treatment safety and accuracy during MRgRT?
- Reduces MR scan time.
- Repositions CTV in real time to maintain coverage.
- Adjusts radiation dose dynamically during beam‐on.
- Allows treatment interruption if displacement exceeds PTV margins.
- Which MRgRT feature best enables precise prostate dose delivery while minimising toxicity to surrounding organs?
- Higher dose rates per fraction.
- Faster image acquisition sequences
- Superior soft tissue visualisation and organ delineation
- No image registration required
- Based on the findings of this study, what margins could be considered most appropriate for prostate MRgRT?
- 1–2 mm isotropic margins
- 5–8 mm isotropic margins
- 2–3 mm non‐isotropic margins
- 8–10 mm non‐isotropic margins
