Slide 1

Technical Requirements:

1. Magnetic Field Strength:

0.2 – 1.5T for both Pre-Rx and BT MR series

- 3T for Pre Rx MR (Experience growing)

- 3T for BT : limited experience due to Image distortion, artefacts and heating effects of

BT applicator

2. Magnet Configuration:

Open or Closed

3. Coils:

Pelvic coil

4. Patient Preparation:

Bowel preparation and reduction in bowel movements

- Reduce ant. ABD motion by elastic bands and Anterior Pre-Saturation bands : to

reduce signals form skin and sub-cut tissues

- US jelly in the vagina for vaginal mucosal disease (Pre Rx MR)

- Vaginal packing with dilute gado (0.2 T) and no contrast for (1.5T)

- Bladder filling protocol : reproducible during BT MR and Rx delivery
