Using MRI during radiation therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests using MRI scans (detailed pictures of the inside of your body) during radiation therapy to improve treatment accuracy. It may help guide radiation delivery more precisely, which could reduce side effects and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to have an MRI scan safely.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you need to be in good general health with no conditions that could affect the imaging.
- If you are a patient, you must have a confirmed diagnosis of invasive cancer (cancer that has spread into surrounding tissue) at the area being treated.
- You must be scheduled to receive radiation therapy (high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells).
- Your overall health should be good enough for the study (ECOG 0-2), meaning you can carry out light activities.
- You cannot have any metal or implant that is not safe for MRI, and you should not have severe claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces).

This study uses repeated MRI scans during radiation treatment to see how tumors change. It may help doctors adjust treatment and improve outcomes for many types of cancer.
This trial tests whether using advanced MRI scans before radiation therapy can help doctors target the tumor more precisely and possibly improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma. It aims to make radiation treatment more personalized.
This study tests whether radiation given with help from MRI (a type of scan) can better treat cancers that need radiation. You may be eligible if your cancer is confirmed and you can safely have MRI scans.
This feasibility study tests whether an MRI-guided radiation approach can be used safely and practically for people with certain stages of cervical cancer. It’s meant to help doctors plan radiation more accurately, while checking whether the treatment process works well.
This trial studies a way of planning and delivering radiation using MRI pictures to help target tumors more accurately. It may benefit people by improving how radiation is aligned, and it’s being tested for safety and effectiveness compared with the usual CT-based planning.
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.
