New scanner could sharpen cancer radiation, reduce side effects
NCT ID NCT06187103
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new imaging tool called HyperSight that takes clearer, faster pictures during radiation therapy for cancers of the head/neck, breast, lungs, upper GI, or pelvis. The goal is to see if these images are good enough to help doctors plan treatment more precisely, potentially reducing damage to healthy tissue. About 40 adults receiving radiation will participate, and the study focuses on image quality, not on curing the disease.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is willing and able to provide written consent. 2. Patient is at least 18 years of age at the time of consent. 3. Patient has biopsy confirmed malignancy and recommendation for definitive or palliative radiation to the head and neck, breast, lungs, upper GI structures, or pelvis. 4. Patient has ECOG performance status 0-2. 5. Patient will be receiving radiation therapy at University of Maryland Medical Center, Department of Radiation Oncology. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is pregnant or attempting pregnancy. 2. Patient has known genetic pre-disposition for sensitivity to radiation (e.g., Li Fraumeni). 3. Patient receives palliative radiation for 5 or fewer fractions. 4. Patient is part of a vulnerable population (per ISO 14155:2020, "individuals who are unable to fully understand all aspects of the investigation that are relevant to the decision to participate, or who could be manipulated or unduly influenced as a result of a compromised position, expectation of benefits or fear of retaliatory response"). This includes prisoners.
