abstract = {To investigate the extent of MR image distortions in the
pelvis caused by susceptibility-induced field
inhomogeneities in MR images in the context of a study on
MR-guided radiotherapy.Using a high-bandwidth double-echo
gradient echo sequence, field maps and distortion maps of
the pelvis were calculated and evaluated for 219 exams (92
of female and 127 of male patients) to investigate
patient-related image distortions caused by susceptibility
differences in an ongoing study on MR-guided radiotherapy.
The evaluation of distortions in the regions 'rectum',
'prostate', 'cervix', and in a reference region in the
gluteus maximus was based on masks drawn by two
readers.Distortions in the prostate and cervix were smaller
than 0.03 px (0.1 mm) for $99\%$ of voxels, and reached a
maximum value of 0.09 px (0.3 mm). In the reference
region, maximum distortions were smaller than in the
prostate and cervix.Using a geometric uncertainty of 0.2 px
(0.6 mm) in margin definition for organs that are close to
the rectum like the prostate and the cervix would be a
cautious choice to account for susceptibility-induced
distortions that can arise during MR-based treatment
guidance for the imaging setting used in this study. Since
distortions are inversely proportional to the readout
bandwidth of the sequence, safety margins need to be adapted
adequately. Additional sources of image distortions like
gradient nonlinearities are not included in our margin
recommendations and should be considered separately.},
