MRI-Guided Thermal Ablation in Urologic Oncology: The Nijmegen Experience By Jurgen J. Fütterer, PhD; et al. (Department of Medical Imaging, Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands). Interventional magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) has expanded the possibilities for interventional treatments and is becoming an essential tool for image-guided therapies in urologic oncology. Unlike ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT), MRI provides high-resolution images and excellent soft tissue contrast for prostate and kidney lesions, aiding in precise tumor localization and distinct tumor border identification. This capability supports real-time targeting of lesions while safeguarding adjacent critical structures. Additionally, MRI permits ongoing monitoring and management of the treatment process, including mapping tissue temperatures during thermal therapies. Notably, it does not involve ionizing radiation, which is particularly important for younger patients and for cases requiring several interventions At Radboud University Medical Center (Radboudumc), MRI-guided prostate treatments began in 2011, followed by the first MRI-guided kidney treatment in 2012. These procedures are performed using a dedicated wide-bore 3T MRI system (MAGNETOM Skyra) in a sterile operating room environment. In this article, the authors share their experience with various MRI-guided prostate treatments, including: - Cryoablation - Focal laser ablation - Transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) - MRI-guided cryoablation of renal tumors.

Integrating MRI into Radiotherapy: Insights from Clinical Implementation of an MRI-Guided Workflow for Prostate Cancer by Philipp Schubert, M.D; Florian Putz, M.D.; et al. (Department of Radiation Oncology, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany) Integrating MRI into radiotherapy (RT) planning has significantly advanced prostate cancer treatment. Superior soft tissue contrast enables precise delineation of the prostate, accurate identification of dominant intraprostatic lesions, and clear differentiation of surrounding organs—resulting in highly personalized treatment strategies. At the Department of Radiation Oncology, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, a combined MRI planning and RT treatment planning workflow has been developed. It includes standardized patient preparation, dedicated imaging in the treatment position, synthetic CT, and deep learning postprocessing. While implementing the comprehensive MR-guided planning protocol, the team learned to optimize multiple aspects, including: - Changing the medium used for filling the rectal balloon - Avoiding fiducial marker implantation prior to MRI - Implementing an in-house solution for reversed gradient polarity correction of single-shot EPI sequences The recent incorporation of MR-based pelvic OAR autocontouring has considerably reduced clinical workload and is particularly promising for MR-only workflows. Combining RT-optimized MRI with #AI postprocessing applications could be crucial in facilitating advanced MR-guided treatment concepts such as focal dose boost and neurovascular sparing.
