entire ring when measured with cross-section 90 degrees to the long axis of the catheter. An MRI receive coil placed on an HDR brachytherapy trocar (Figure 1C) was used to improve signal strength and ease location of the silicone during scanning. A calibration curve (Figure 1D) was obtained relating the longitudinal relaxation time of silicone oxygen sensor to oxygen partial pressure. Conclusion Oxygen sensitive silicone placed on the external surface of the brachytherapy catheter offers the ability to make multiple measurements of tissue oxygen axially along the catheter. Use of an intra-lumen MRI receive coil for high signal-to-noise ratio avoids the need to localize the silicone volume of interest.

Conclusion Obtained measurements reveal the need for dose adaptation and that model-based algorithms should be considered for planning complex HDR surface brachytherapy cases. Radiochromic film is an efficient in- vivo dosimeter that can be used in dosimetry of these cases and consequent adaptive re-planning.

Hypoxia induced radiation resistance is well established in cancers including cervical, prostate, and head and neck. MR-guided HDR-brachy offers the ability for hyper-localized dose escalation to overcome treatment resistance in low oxygen tumor sub-volumes but the lack of a clinically available direct and quantitative oxygen sensor has prevented the clinical implementation of these techniques. We report on the incorporation of our MRI- measurable oxygen sensitive silicone 1 on the external surface of an HDR-brachy catheter. This will offer a direct and quantitative measurement of tissue oxygen, at multiple tissue locations, without the need for an additional invasive step. Additionally, as the oxygen sensitive silicone is attached to the catheter it will remain at a fixed location until the catheters are removed at the end of treatment, maintaining the ability to co-locate oxygen measurements with the means for dose escalation Oxygen sensitive silicone rings were cured in molds of appropriate dimensions and placed on the outside surface of the catheter. Catheters containing silicone were imaged using a 3T Siemens MRI. The longitudinal relaxation time was measured with a custom MRI receive coil placed in the inner lumen of the catheter using a turbo spin echo inversion recovery pulse sequence. Results Oxygen sensitive silicone was successfully placed on the external surface of the catheter and allows for customizable spacing and dimensions (Figure 1A). Multiple silicone depots can be visualized in a single cross-sectional scan along the length of the catheter (Figure 1B) or the during each fraction. Material and Methods

Material and Methods Arbitrary k-space sampling was incorporated into a 3D fully balanced steady-state free precession pulse sequence (CISS). Five k-space sampling patterns were investigated including fully sampled, random, pseudo-random Poisson disk, and both single- and multi-phase encoding GRAPPA accelerations.
