Contrast-enhanced CBCT With C-arm HyperSight Technology: A Feasibility Study
Overview
This is a single-arm prospective, feasibility study evaluating the intravenous contrast-enhanced cone beam computed tomography (IV CBCT) for image guidance during radiotherapy. Patients treated with SFRT will receive IV-contrast enhanced CT and fMRI before treatment for simulation purposes. Additionally, patients will receive mpMRI just before and IV-contrast enhanced CBCT during their second and last fraction of RT, in addition to the standard of care CBCT that is acquired for daily image-guided patient positioning. Patients will undergo both IV-contrast enhanced CBCT and treatment on the TrueBeam with HyperSight imaging capability. We hypothesize IV contrast enhanced CBCT is feasible, well-tolerated by patients and improves the visibility of the target.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Intravenous contrast-enhanced cone beam computed tomography
Two half-arc IV-contrast enhanced CBCT scans and mpMRI seuqences in addition to their routine standard of care CBCT that is done as part of image-guided radiotherapy. These scans will be done during the second and last fraction of treatment.
Primary outcome measures
- Feasibility of IV-contrast enhanced CBCT during image-guided radiotherapy [Time frame: 18 Months]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Feasibility of dynamic-contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging [Time frame: 18 Months]
- Image quality of full versus half (17 s) CBCT acquisition, with and without contrast enhancement [Time frame: 18 Months]
- Patient preferences and comfort with the use of IV CBCT during treatment [Time frame: 18 Months]
