Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images are routinely used in radiation treatment delivery workflows to align patients with the treatment beam. Conventional CBCT image quality is sufficient for this task but not good enough for other radiotherapy-related tasks, such as contouring anatomical structures and calculating radiation dose distributions. HyperSight is a new CBCT imaging system manufactured by Varian Medical Systems. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the integration of the HyperSight imaging system with Varian's TrueBeam radiotherapy system, a linear accelerator with a C-arm gantry that rotates about the patient to delivery radiation to the target malignancy. HyperSight CBCT images will be acquired prospectively from patients who are receiving radiation treatment. The HyperSight/TrueBeam system will be used for imaging only; patients receive their radiation treatment on cleared devices and no aspect of their treatment is affected by participation in the study. HyperSight images collected during the study will be evaluated for quality and utility and compared to conventional CBCT images as well as fan beam CT images used for treatment planning.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults who are set to receive radiation therapy for cancers in the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, or pelvis. They must have good kidney function if receiving IV contrast and women of childbearing age need a negative pregnancy test. It's not open to those unable to consent or considered vulnerable.

Inclusion Criteria

My kidneys work well enough for IV contrast, with an eGFR over 30.

I can join the study without a kidney test if I'm not getting IV contrast.

I am scheduled for radiation therapy on my head, neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis.

Exclusion Criteria

Patient is unwilling or unable to sign an IRB-approved written informed consent document

I am not in a position to fully understand or decide about participating in this study without influence.
