No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To determine if the Clarity 3DUS (3D Ultrasound) system can be used by multiple individuals to acquire 3DUS images and produce consistent TB (Tumor Bed) shifts for breast IGRT (Image-Guided Radiation Therapy).

Conditions

  • Radiation Therapy for Primary Breast Cancer

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy using 3D Ultrasound Guided-Therapy

Subjects will have 3 x 3DUS during radiation therapy

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound Guided Imaging

Subjects will undergo a CT scan and an US of your breast for the planning of radiation therapy after a breast conserving operation. About 1 week after the start of radiation treatment subjects will have a second CT and US. During this visit subjects will have one CT and three US's. These US's will be performed by 3 different radiation therapists. Part of the current study is to compare the similarity of the 3 US pictures taken by different individuals.
