Dr. Shaw outlines the benefits of the 3.0 T MR* scanner and how it is being used in his Radiation Oncology department. Wake Forest has a very busy gamma knife program, treating more than 325 patients per year. This type of practice benefits from the high-resolution anatomic imaging provided by the 3.0 T MR*. Dr. Shaw also reviews the use of biophysiologic imaging, specifically spectroscopy, dynamic contrast enhanced MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (tractography), functional MRI and the use of this data* to fine-tune contouring.
