Motion-including dose- reconstruction and downstream treatment adaptation or toxicity analysis is only possible with volumetric information. However, spatial and temporal resolution are competing parameters in volumetric MR acquisitions which in the thorax are further complicated by respiratory motion. We propose to use a unified image registration and motion modelling framework to overcome these inherent MR limitations. The framework takes surrogate signals and unsorted motion images as an input to reconstruct a motion-compensated super-resolution (MCSR) image and fit a motion model directly to the input data. Here, for the first time, we present the results of our motion modelling framework for patient volunteer data acquired on an MR- Linac at multiple days during their treatment. Material and Methods A lung cancer patient undergoing radical radiotherapy treatment on a conventional linac consented to being imaged on an MR-Linac on day 1, 6, and 7 of their treatment with a slice-selective fast gradient echo sequence interleaving surrogate and motion slices. Sagittal surrogate images from a fixed location including the tumour were used to generate surrogate signals, whereas motion images provided anatomical and motion information from varying locations in sagittal and axial orientations covering the anatomy of interest. All images were acquired with a resolution of 2x2x10mm³ and the motion images were offset by increments of 2mm in the out-of-plane direction to facilitate super-resolution reconstruction. Surrogate signals were generated by principal component analysis on the deformation vector field after registration to a reference surrogate image (Figure 1a). For each acquisition day 990 motion images were reconstructed to a 2mm isotropic MCSR image and a motion model was fitted. To quantify the model fitting accuracy, the model was applied to the MCSR and the image acquisition was simulated for each motion image time point. Each simulated motion image was then 2D registered to the original motion image to quantify the residual error between the model estimate and the original input data. Results A motion image and corresponding model estimated image are shown in Figure 1 (b) and (c) respectively. The volumetric MCSR image is shown in Figure 1 (d-f) and the quantitative residual fitting errors within the patient anatomy are given in Table 1. The mean absolute (95th percentile) residual fitting error ranged between 0.52mm and 0.80mm (1.42mm and 2.20mm).

Conclusion We successfully applied our motion modelling framework for the first time to lung cancer patient data acquired on an MR-Linac. Our method allows for real-time imaging of the tumour in the surrogate slice while also providing volumetric motion information. Our framework displays a constant model performance over multiple treatment days. OC-0339 First MRI based quantification of diaphragm motion during prolonged breath-holds up to 8 minutes I.

However, the effectiveness depends on patients’ compliance with instructions. Also, tumor and organ position vary between repeated SBHs, and residual motion
