Gynae BT 2017

Imaging protocols MRI and CT Conclusions

Imaging modalities for EBRT : - CT = gold standard for EBRT

Key issuses for image acquisition and patient preparation: IV and oral contrast Delayed acquisition for bladder Filled bladder Patient positioning: e.g. belly board Dietary advices

Most authors recommend repetitive-imaging, especially for IMRT -MRI may assist delineation for EBRT due to fusion with CT, but it is required for IGABT specific protocol is required (see GYN GEC ESTRO recommendations)

Imaging modalities for BT: - MRI = gold standard for BT

Key issues for image acquisition:

see GYN GEC ESTRO recommendations (ADVANCED MRI !!!)

- CT = alternate option (if MRI not available) Key issues for image acquisition retrograde contrast to bladder IV contrast multiplanar imaging
