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 study tests new real-time image-guided radiation therapy methods for people getting curative radiation for certain cancers (brain, breast, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, prostate, or spine). It aims to see if these advanced imaging techniques work safely and effectively during treatment.
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 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 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.
