This clinical trial studies how well kilo-voltage cone beam computed tomography (KV-CBCT) and ultrasound imaging work in guiding radiation therapy in patients with prostate cancer. Computer systems, such as KV-CBCT and ultrasound imaging, allow doctors to create a 3-dimensional picture of the tumor may help in planning radiation therapy and may result in more tumor cells being killed.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT02337465.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To investigate the feasibility of combining on-board cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with ultrasound imaging to overcome the shortcomings of CBCT or ultrasound imaging alone for imaging guided radiotherapy delivery.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo ultrasound imaging prior to and during radiation therapy. Patients also undergo kilo-voltage cone beam computed tomography daily prior to radiation therapy.
