Using MRI scans to improve radiotherapy planning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing whether using MRI scans can help doctors better plan radiotherapy for cancer patients. It involves having an MRI before your radiotherapy starts, and the results will be compared to your standard CT scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with invasive cancer in an area that can be treated with radiotherapy
- You are scheduled to receive radiotherapy to that specific area
- You are able to have an MRI scan
- You are generally in good health apart from your cancer (ECOG score 0 to 2)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study does repeated MRI (detailed brain/body imaging) while you receive radiation therapy. It aims to see how these serial scans relate to treatment and outcomes, which could help improve care planning for different cancers.
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 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 study collects MRI scans and treatment data from patients getting MRI-guided radiotherapy for certain cancers. It aims to improve radiation treatment planning using imaging and biological information.
This study uses MRI scans to help improve how radiotherapy is planned and delivered. You would be an adult volunteer without a patient diagnosis, and your scan may be checked for unexpected (incidental) findings.
This study uses MRI scans and blood and/or urine tests to measure changes in the body and imaging results during radiotherapy. It may help researchers understand how treatment affects the body and improve future planning.
