Book excerpt: Image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been accepted as a novel treatment technique for cervical cancer. During the development of MRI-based IGABT, a very important concept called "High-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV)" was introduced. However, computed tomography (CT)-based IGABT is the most common modality in Japan.
