2201. Improving
accuracy of MR-Linac arterial spin labelling for imaging
dynamics of highly-perfused tumour regions in glioblastoma
L. Lawrence, B. Chugh, J. Stewart, M. Ruschin, A. Theriault,
J. Detsky, S. Myrehaug, P. Maralani, C-L Tseng, H. Soliman,

University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
Impact: Accurate cerebral blood flow measurements from
MR-Linac arterial spin labelling are possible by using the
measured labelling efficiency. To target highly-perfused
glioblastoma regions with dose-escalation, targeting
enhancing tumour is insufficient and adaptation is required.

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Impact: This study reveals moderate reproducibility of
intraprostatic lesion conspicuity between MR-simulator and
MR-LINAC systems. Findings underscore the need for improved
DWI quality and standardized protocols in MR-guided
radiotherapy.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, United States
Impact: Motion-resolved 4D MRI is feasible with PGA
radial sampling, presenting performance similar to GA radial
sampling. The combination of PGA sampling and Movienet
reconstruction would enable the integration of 4D MRI into
the Elekta MR-Linac clinical workflow for adaptive
radiotherapy.
