About

This study will evaluate the feasibility of using this novel patient position monitoring system for patients receiving radiation therapy to targets involving the chest or upper abdomen, as these are the most affected by respiratory motion. This motion monitoring system will be incorporated with standard of care on-board CT imaging to confirm that the respiratory position is tracking the tumor target appropriately.

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Planning to receive a course of radiation therapy that, per the treating radiation oncologist, requires motion management at the time of CT simulation and during treatment. Types of treatments that require motion management during radiation therapy include treatments to the lung, heart, breast, and upper abdomen (pancreas, liver, adrenals). These may include either free-breathing treatments or breath-hold treatments.
• At least 18 years of age.
• No documented allergy to medical grade adhesives.
• Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document.

Motion management system during standard of care treatment

Description:

Patients will wear the motion management system (eMotus) during their CT simulation scan and each of their radiation therapy treatments (no more than 15 fractions). CT simulation will take approximately 40 minutes and radiation treatments will take approximately 15-45 minutes depending on the patient's plan. Patients will complete questionnaires collecting feedback on the device after receiving their last fraction of treatment.
