Study Summary

This trial is testing whether using a 4D-CT to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer patients results in better outcomes. Patients will have another 4D-CT at 3 and 6 months after treatment to see if there are any changes.

Eligible Conditions
  • Lung Cancer

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
validate lung strain modeling using 4D-CT in a lung cancer patient population to correlate pre-treatment strain with post-treatment changes.
Secondary outcome measures
correlate 4D-CT based lung strain modeling with standard lung function studies including pulmonary function tests and ventilation-perfusion scans.
correlate post-treatment strain with radiographic changes to the lung parenchyma
correlate pre- and post-treatment strain with clinical toxicity
