Imaging Tools for Kids Undergoing Radiation Therapy
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or younger
- You are receiving at least 5 days of radiation therapy for cancer
- Your doctor says you're able to do normal activities or have mild to moderate limitations from your illness (ECOG performance status 0–3)
- Your cancer is NOT a primary brain tumor (tumors that started in the brain)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of CT scan that might help doctors see tumors more clearly in tricky areas like the brain, head, neck, liver, pancreas, or prostate. It also looks at people with heart disease who need radiation therapy. The goal is to make radiation treatment more accurate and personalized.
This study tests how well new computer methods (called algorithms and machine learning) can support radiation therapy decisions. You might benefit by helping improve how radiation is planned and checked, especially for cancers treated with curative-intent therapy.
This trial tests a high-resolution PET-CT scan done during surgery to help surgeons see exactly where the cancer ends. It may help make sure all cancer is removed while saving healthy tissue.
This trial is testing new technology that helps doctors deliver radiation therapy more precisely, using real-time imaging. The goal is to see if this new method is technically possible in people, which could lead to more effective and safer cancer treatment.
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 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.
