Overview

Brief Summary

In current radiation therapy, imaging (typically, cone beam CT imaging or two orthogonal X-ray projection imaging) is done for patient setup before radiation dose delivery. Dose delivery typically takes 2 to 5 minutes depending on the delivery technique used for treatment. A tumor target may change its position during the dose delivery process. The goal of this project is develop a real-time imaging strategy to monitor the tumor position during dose delivery and evaluate its potential clinical impact.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•The study population will be drawn from available patient population that will be treated using IMRT/VMAT. The Stanford population of IMRT/VMAT will be taken as roughly representative of prospective IMRT patients and will not be subdivided by any additional characteristics.
