Cone-beam CT for guiding radiation therapy in cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special X-ray called cone-beam CT (CBCT) can help guide radiation therapy more precisely for different types of cancer. If you are already scheduled for radiation and use CBCT as part of your care, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are getting radiation therapy for a cancer of the head and neck, chest, liver, breast, or organs in the belly or pelvis.
- A cone-beam CT (a type of X-ray) is normally used to guide your radiation treatment.
- You are able to get out of bed and take care of yourself most of the time (not in bed or chair more than half the day).
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during treatment.
- You can understand the study and give your permission to join.

This trial studies using MRI images to help plan and guide radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery. It may help doctors target the right area more accurately while keeping treatment standard and safe.
This study tests how well an artificial intelligence system can use special X-ray images taken during certain radiation treatments to improve care. You may qualify if you’re having radiation for specific conditions and your treatment center uses the required imaging steps.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for head and neck cancer: with a custom face mask or with a new camera-guided system (no mask). The goal is to see which approach works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This study tests new imaging technology (Hypersight and Ethos systems) to help doctors better see and target radiation therapy in children and teens with cancer. The goal is to improve how accurately radiation is delivered while reducing side effects.
This study tests a new imaging camera that uses special dye to help doctors see tumors better during radiation therapy. It may help doctors target cancer more precisely while protecting healthy tissue.
This trial tests whether using CT scans (instead of MRIs) to guide internal radiation for cervical cancer works just as well. If you are getting standard chemoradiation plus brachytherapy, you may be able to join with fewer scans.
