Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study involves observing radiotherapy treatment response using novel MRI sequences as imaging biomarkers in participants undergoing standard radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy treatment.
Standard Treatment - DW, DCE, SWI and ASL MRI at radiotherapy simulation (Radiotherapy treatment planning to map out treatment delivery) (week 0)
Radiotherapy begins at Week 1
Extra test for pts on study
- DW, DCE, SWI and ASL MRI (weeks 3 and 6)
- at 4 weeks post RT - DW, DCE, SWI and ASL MRI
Abbreviations: DW = diffusion weighted; DCE = dynamic contrast enhanced; SWI = susceptibility weighted imaging; ASL = Arterial spin labelling
These scan are to gain anatomical and physiological information.
The MRI images will require administration of an intravenous contrast agent. The MRI scan will take approximately 30-45 minutes and a contrast agent will be administered through a cannula during this examination. The MRIs will be undertaken by clinical MRI and radiotherapy staff with expertise required for clinical use of this imaging modality
