Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had been widely used in the process of radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PCa) based on the advantages. Functional MRI (f-MRI) with quantitative characteristic had important clinical value in optimizing the PCa radiotherapy plan design and location verification. While improving the curative effect of radiotherapy
f-MRI also provided a reliable reference for the evaluation of curative effect. This review introduced the application principle and effect of traditional and latest f-MRI in PCa radiotherapy
in order to fill the domestic gap
improve the theoretical system of medical imaging
and provide research reference for relevant practitioners.
