Step 2: „providing (some) infrastructure“
• Decision in Vienna in favour of an open MRI system
for radiotherapy planning, within brachytherapy (1995)
[instead of a digital fluoroscopy based planning system (500.000€)]
•
Installation, testing, tuning MRI for radiotherapy (97-9)
(Fransson et al. Strahlentherapie 2001)
•
Developing specific sequences (prostate, gynae) (1998)
(research grant MRI medical physics: A. Fransson, Karolinska, Stockholm)
•
Systematic Comparison MRI vs. CT based treatment planning:
EBRT for brain and prostate tumours
(Fransson et al. Radioth&Oncol 2000,
Petersch et al. Radioth&Oncol 2003)
