Summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate typical tumor motion caused by breathing using MRI and can help determine whether simple passive breathing and/or breath-holding could be used for the future treatment of similar lung and liver tumors using radiation therapy radiosurgery techniques.

Conditions

  • Neoplasm, Metastatic

Interventions

PROCEDURE
