New MRI technique could sharpen cancer radiation targeting
NCT ID NCT04657042
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study is testing a new imaging method called 4D-MRI that creates 3D movies of the lungs and liver as a person breathes. The goal is to help doctors better track tumor movement during radiation therapy, making treatment more precise. Researchers will test this in healthy volunteers and cancer patients to see if it outperforms current CT scans.
