Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Real-time Gated 4DCT
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Conventional 4DCT

Experimental: Real-Time Gated 4DCT and Conventional 4DCT - During the simulation (radiotherapy planning) session, the participant will undergo both the experimental 'Real-Time Gated 4DCT' and standard 'Conventional 4DCT'.


Diagnosis / Prognosis: Real-time Gated 4DCT
Real-time gated four-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (4DCT) will be conducted at the simulation session. The Real-Time Gated 4DCT will be conducted while the patient moves through the rotating X-ray imager. This method detects and then pauses the CT beam during irregular breathing events.

Diagnosis / Prognosis: Conventional 4DCT
Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT), the standard of care for modern high-precision stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR), will be conducted at the simulation session. It will run continuously while the patient moves through the rotating X-ray imager.
