【 摘 要 】

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used in gel dosimetry from the very first studies back in the 1980s. Almost all the imaging problems that we still encounter were known about at that time and many were described in the proceedings of the very first International Workshop on Radiation Therapy Gel Dosimetry (DOSGEL '99). The quality of MRI scanners has improved enormously in the intervening two decades, so why are there still issues? This review will draw on the wealth of previously presented material from the literature to attempt to answer this question. The reference list provides a "starter pack" that should be viewed as a "jumping off point" for further investigations by the reader, rather than an exhaustive summary of what is a large domain of work.
