MRI for Radiation TherapyThe key to personalized RT

With the power and versatility of magnetic resonance imaging, you can revolutionize and individualize radiation therapy workflows at every step along the care pathway. 

Our MR imaging systems boost your imaging capabilities through soft-tissue contrast that reveals new insights, detailed functional information, and time-resolved imaging for moving organs. 

An imaging workflow involving MR imaging helps you achieve greater precision than ever before, and it opens the door for adaptive radiotherapy and personalized workflows from simulation to treatment to follow-up. 

If your vision is to enable tailored treatment regardless of individual complexities, then our MR imaging systems are the key.
