Real-Time kV Imaging vs. Real-Time 3D Patient Surface Tracking for Head & Neck Cancer
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01011842
Purpose
To determine if a new optical system that can track a patient's movement during treatment can
be used to measure motion and allow for motion adjustments in order to decrease the amount of
healthy tissue that receives radiation without limiting our ability to cure cancers using
radiation.
Official Title
