Abstract

MRI-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) is an emerging, innovative technology that provides opportunities to transform and improve the current clinical care process in radiation oncology. As with many new technologies in radiation oncology, careful evaluation from a healthcare economic and policy perspective is required for its successful implementation. In this review article, we describe the current evidence surrounding MRgRT, framing it within the context of value within the healthcare system. Additionally, we highlight areas in which MRgRT may disrupt the current process of care, and discuss the evidence thresholds and timeline required for the widespread adoption of this promising technology.

核磁共振成像引导下的放射治疗--一种新兴的颠覆性医疗流程：医疗保健经济和政策考虑因素

磁共振成像引导放射治疗（MRgRT）是一项新兴的创新技术，它为改变和改善目前放射肿瘤学的临床治疗流程提供了机会。与放射肿瘤学的许多新技术一样，要想成功实施该技术，必须从医疗经济和政策的角度进行仔细评估。在这篇综述文章中，我们描述了目前有关 MRgRT 的证据，并将其纳入医疗保健系统价值的范畴。此外，我们还强调了 MRgRT 可能会颠覆当前医疗流程的领域，并讨论了广泛采用这项前景广阔的技术所需的证据门槛和时间表。
