MRI for radiotherapy guidelines: A comparative review of recommendations by IPEM topical report, AAPM TG‐284, and NCS report 36

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In recent years, three international guidelines on the use of MRI in radiotherapy (RT) have been published, each offering valuable recommendations. However, the coexistence of multiple guidelines can make it challenging for practitioners to determine which to follow in specific clinical contexts. This review aims to clarify where the guidelines converge, where they differ, and how they can be used together to support informed decision-making. Authored by contributors from the AAPM (US), IPEM (UK), and NCS (NL) this overview provides a concise yet comprehensive comparison of their scope, content, and recommendations. This synthesis serves as a practical and informative resource for the medical physics community, supporting more consistent and informed implementation of MRI in RT.
