Choice A: | Tolerated well, but cosmesis was poor. |
Choice B: | Tolerated well, and cosmesis was good. |
Choice C: | Tolerated poorly, and cosmesis was poor. |
Choice D: | Tolerated poorly, but cosmesis was good. |

Choice A: | Patient repositioning, accounting for change of normal organ positioning |
Choice B: | Routine access to MR based biological imaging (functional and quantitative) without inconvenience to the patient |
Choice C: | Ability to perform preoperative pancreatic SBRT without fiducials |
Choice D: | MR guidance is not relevant for the future of RT |
Question 4: Which of the following clinical circumstances offers a potential advantage of MR Guided radiation therapy over CT based radiation therapy? |
Reference: | Reference: Robins. Semin Radiat Oncol. 2018 Oct;28(4):288-294 |
Choice A: | A 1.5 cm dome of the liver colorectal oligometastatic lesion, difficult to visualize on CT, in a patient with contraindications to fiducial placement |
Choice B: | Stage III primary non-small cell lung cancer |
Choice C: | Rectal cancer planned for pre-operative external beam radiation therapy, without plans for organ preservation |
Choice D: | A single brain metastasis that has been resected |
Question 5: Regarding treating a patient with a pacemaker on an 0.35T MRIgRT system: |
Reference: | Reference: Wilkoff, Bruce L., et al. "Magnetic resonance imaging in patients with a pacemaker system designed for the magnetic resonance environment." Heart rhythm 8.1 (2011): 65-73. |
Choice A: | MRI scanning is never allowed, pacemaker is an absolute contraindication to MRI |
Choice B: | If the pacemaker is FDA-cleared for 1.5T only, the manufacturer will support scanning at 0.35T because the lower field is less risky |
Choice C: | If the patient is not pacemaker dependent, no additional actions are needed. |
Choice D: | Factors potentially affecting the safety of scanning include the field strength, slew rate, SAR, and location of the pacemaker with respect to the RF transmit coil isocenter. |
Question 6: Visual bio-feedback for patient-controlled respiratory MR image-based gating has demonstrated: |
Reference: | Reference: Lee, Danny, et al. "Audiovisual biofeedback guided breath hold improves lung tumor position reproducibility and volume consistency." Advances in radiation oncology 2.3 (2017): 354-362. |
Choice A: | No benefit to the patient |
Choice B: | Statistically significant reduction in gated treatment times. |
Choice C: | No measurable reduction in image quality metrics. |
Choice D: | Statically significantly improved dosimetric accuracy of gated treatments. |
