NCT ID NCT05176860
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a new cone-beam CT scanner that takes clearer pictures during radiation therapy for lung, liver, and breast cancers. 31 people participated to see if the new scanner reduces image blurring and improves accuracy. The goal is to help doctors target tumors more precisely and protect healthy tissue.
