Interventions

  • Patient Position Monitoring System — DEVICE
    The device is a motion management system for patients receiving radiation therapy. The system is composed of a disposable fiber optic sensor pad, a signal transceiver, and software to receive and display patient data. The sensor pad is applied to the patient's chest or abdomen and plugged into the signal transceiver, which provides the system's software to provide a visual respiratory trace for the treatment team.

Study Details

This study will evaluate the feasibility of using this novel patient position monitoring system for patients receiving radiation therapy to targets involving the chest or upper abdomen, as these are the most affected by respiratory motion. This motion monitoring system will be incorporated with standard of care on-board CT imaging to confirm that the respiratory position is tracking the tumor target appropriately.

20 participants (estimated)

Arms

  • Arm: Motion management system during standard of care treatment
    Patients will wear the motion management system (eMotus) during their CT simulation scan and each of their radiation therapy treatments (no more than 15 fractions). CT simulation will take approximately 40 minutes and radiation treatments will take approximately 15-45 minutes depending on the patient's plan. Patients will complete questionnaires collecting feedback on the device after receiving their last fraction of treatment.

Primary Outcome Measure

Feasibility of eMotus system as defined by frequency of successfully delivered treatment fraction [ Time Frame: Enrollment to completion of radiation therapy (estimated total time is 1 month) ]
