Reshaping the Role of MRI in Brachytherapy

Reshaping the Role of MRI in Brachytherapy

MRI has the potential to substantially improve patient care. Are you aware of the key elements that ensure successful adoption and implementation?

Prostate LDR

How Do Brachytherapists Evolve Legacy LDR Planning Protocols and Improve Patient Outcomes?

MRI has been shown to provide similar or improved cancer control with fewer complications1

Reduced Dose to Normal Structures Dose to the bladder neck, external urethral sphincter2, and neurovascular bundles may impact complications related to urinary toxicity and sexual function.

Reduced Dose to Normal Structures

Dose to the bladder neck, external urethral sphincter2, and neurovascular bundles may impact complications related to urinary toxicity and sexual function.

MRI-based plans provide a more accurate prediction for post-op dosimetry than US-based planning.

Improved Dosimetry

MRI-based plans provide a more accurate prediction for post-op dosimetry than US-based planning.

Most Clinics Struggle with Modernizing Brachytherapy Planning Protocol

In attempting to adopt new procedures, brachytherapists are often left with many questions

Question“How do we implement MRI-guided Brachytherapy?”

Question“How do we account for orientation differences and register the MRI to our ultrasound?”

 

Question“How do we incorporate MRI without extending OR time?”

 

MIM Symphony LDR®

Comprehensive LDR Treatment Planning

MIM ReSlicer®

Full Platform

Full treatment planning platform for MR or US-based planning with the same platform and tools as MIM Maestro®.

Prostate HDR

Better Lesion Visualization
Improve Plan Quality with MRI

Using MRI provides the ability to boost dose to the MRI-visible lesion and enables more conformal dosimetry, resulting in improved cancer control with fewer complications.
