Motion of Kids on Radiation Treatment

NCT03995849 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 65

Last updated 2024-03-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

At Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, a comprehensive approach to help children stay still during radiation treatment (RT) such as audio-visual distraction (television) is routinely used. These techniques help reduce the need for sedation or general anaesthesia to keep children still to avoid the chance of missing the tumour during RT. This approach has not been systematically evaluated to determine its effectiveness at reducing movement of children receiving RT. The purpose of the study is to measure the movement of children between the beginning and the end of RT to see how much they moved during treatment.

Conditions

  • Observational Study

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Cone Beam CT Scan

In this study, children will receive one CBCT scan before starting RT as part of standard approach. Then after RT, another CBCT scan will be used to measure movement between the beginning and end of RT.
