Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using ultrasound to image and track pancreas/duodenum motion during radiation therapy treatment delivery. Also develop a workflow and process to allow the final ultrasound system to be used routinely by radiation therapists.
Primary Outcome
Design and construct stands to hold the ultrasound probe. Issues to be considered in the design include (i) avoiding the stand and probe blocking radiation beams, (ii) avoiding ultrasound going through the ribs, (iii) minimizing the effect of respiration motion. Explore building the probe into the immobilization device (e.g., Alpha cradle) or using robotic arm.
