Why MRI-Guided Radiotherapy Demands Specialized Positioning Systems
MRI-guided radiotherapy combines diagnostic imaging with precision treatment delivery. However, standard patient couches and motion systems introduce magnetic interference, limit range of motion, or complicate adaptive planning. The following challenges explain why MR-compatible solutions are essential for next-generation hybrid radiotherapy.
Magnetic Interference and Image Distortion
Conventional motion systems contain ferromagnetic materials that distort MRI images and compromise treatment accuracy. Maintaining MR image fidelity requires fully non-magnetic design and precise shielding.
Limited Motion and Adjustment Range
Standard MRI couches provide only basic longitudinal motion. Without lateral or vertical adjustment, adaptive workflows cannot realign the patient precisely to the treatment isocenter.
Complex Cable Management
External coil and headphone cables can interfere with imaging fields and increase setup time. Integrated cable routing is essential for safety and workflow efficiency.
Incompatibility with Adaptive Planning
Traditional MRI tables cannot accommodate daily anatomical shifts. Real-time position correction and adaptive dose planning require advanced 3DoF or 6DoF motion control.
