Virtual phantom methodology for assessment of MRI distortion correction in high-precision stereotactic radiosurgery treatment planning by Tristan Belloeil-Marrane, Adrian Gutierrez, Marlies Boussaer, Cristina Teixeira, Thierry Gevaert, Mark De Ridder

“…This provides additional robustness and reliability to the accuracy of SRS treatment planning using MR T1-W sequences as imaging reference for target definition and organ delineation, remaining consistent independently from the variability of the non-uniformity gradient values. This virtual phantom methodology primarily aims to provide a simple/robust evaluation metric in radiotherapy for MR distortion correction solutions, providing an additional/complement QA procedure to dedicated hardware phantoms, comparatively costly in time and resources. …”
