MRI guidance is feasible for proton therapy
By Tami Freeman, PhD
MR guidance is emerging as a powerful tool for real-time monitoring of radiation treatments, offering excellent soft-tissue contrast and the ability to track intrafractional tumor motion. Hybrid devices for MR-guided photon-based radiotherapy are now in clinical use. But to date, no such combined system exists for proton therapy.

U.S.-Swiss study adds to concerns on gadolinium
By Wayne Forrest
CHICAGO - Increased signal intensities in different brain regions, presumably caused by linear and macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents, may be an indication that gadolinium accumulation is more widespread than previously thought, a study presented on Wednesday at RSNA 2018 has found.
