In current radiation therapy, imaging (typically, cone beam CT imaging or two orthogonal
X-ray projection imaging) is done for patient setup before radiation dose delivery. Dose
delivery typically takes 2 to 5 minutes depending on the delivery technique used for
treatment. A tumor target may change its position during the dose delivery process. The goal
of this project is develop a real-time imaging strategy to monitor the tumor position during
dose delivery and evaluate its potential clinical impact.

Inclusion Criteria:
- The study population will be drawn from available patient population that will be
treated using IMRT/VMAT. The Stanford population of IMRT/VMAT will be taken as
roughly representative of prospective IMRT patients and will not be subdivided by any
additional characteristics.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The study population will be drawn from available patient population that will be
treated using IMRT/VMAT. The Stanford population of IMRT/VMAT will be taken as
roughly representative of prospective IMRT patients and will not be subdivided by any
additional characteristics.
