Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the reproducibility of Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) setup in the radiotherapy position. This will be assessed through the acquisition of 2 MRI sets of scans which will be fused and compared to determine the consistency of imaging and impact of MRI distortion, landmark positions and contours. [At time of MRI scan];To assess the consistency of imaging information considering the magnitude and consistency of anatomical and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) distortion. This will be assessed through the acquisition of 2 MRI sets of scans which will be fused and compared to determine the consistency of imaging and impact of MRI distortion, landmark positions and contours. [At time of MRI scan]
