The use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) simulation in radiation therapy leads to the need of acquiring images of high spatial accuracy and image integrity. This need has to be covered by additional radiation therapy (RT)-specific QA tasks and tools.

One of these tasks is detecting and monitoring the MR scanner’s image distortion. Covering this need, LAP and Siemens Healthineers developed the THETIS 3D MR Distortion Phantom.

This webinar introduces LAP’s THETIS 3D MR Distortion Phantom and describes ways of working with it. Together with a guest speaker from Siemens Healthineers we will show how THETIS integrates into the QA workflows of Siemens Healthineers MR scanners, covering the needs of MR imaging in radiotherapy.

SPEAKER: Torsten Hartmann is director of Product Management of the Business Unit Healthcare at LAP GmbH Laser Applikationen. He has more than 20 years’ healthcare experience, having held positions in software development, project and department leads. He joined LAP in 2006 and has since driven products in radiotherapy.

GUEST SPEAKER: Dr Arun Joseph serves as the global product marketing manager at Siemens Healthineers, overseeing the marketing of MR scanners dedicated for radiation therapy planning. With a background in biomedical engineering, Arun has maintained a profound connection with MR imaging since his days as a student and scientist. In his current role as product marketing manager, he passionately advocates for the pivotal role of MRI in radiation therapy planning.
