ABSTRACT

Improved target definition and contouring consensus is

possible with MRI imaging (3), but multiple structures not

visible on CT create confusion and necessitate training in

pelvic MRI and functional anatomy to take advantage of

this potential (4). Full integration of MRI imaging requires

registration, a potential source of error that can diminish

the advantage of MRI imaging (5,6). Multiple comple-

mentary methods of registration are available, and no

single method is without potential error. In spite of cau-

tion about registration error, the clarity of MRI imaging is

compelling, and there is little doubt that integration of a

variety of functional scans will be routine in the future.
