Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Eligible patients will receive two additional MRI scan sessions on the Australian MRI Linac. Each scan will take no more than one hour and separated by approximately 1 week from each other, depending on their treatment plan and other standard medical appointments they may have within the hospital. The imaging sessions will be conducted by MRI trained staff with qualified Radiation Therapist, Radiation Oncologist and Medical Physicist to assist where required. MRI gadolinium contrast may be given at MRI simulation during the scan if clinically indicated for the patients tumour site. The dose will be according to department standard practices.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 323188 0
To qualitatively assess the imaging acquired by the Australian MRI-Linac. A range of cancer sites will be examined and the quality of the MRI-Linac images will be assessed. The research team inclusive of a Radiation Oncologist, physicist, radiographer and radiation therapist will assess images and complete an evaluation form.
Timepoint [1] 323188 0
After each participant's second imaging session on the MRI-Linac.
Secondary outcome [1] 381408 0
Patient comfort and satisfaction will be assessed with using a Patient Satisfaction and comfort questionnaire. This is a composite outcome. The patient satisfaction and comfort questionnaire has been designed specifically for this study focusing on the the use of the Australian MRI-Linac. The questionnaire is titled 'Australian MRI-Linac Patient Experience Questionnaire'
Timepoint [1] 381408 0
After each scanning session on the MRI-Linac.
