Summary

To evaluate the use of cone beam computed tomography in treating head and neck to hopefully reduce side effects

Detailed description

The general purpose of this study is to evaluate Kilovoltage (kv) Imaging, specifically the Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan device, to assess the accuracy of radiation therapy treatment delivery for patients with head and neck neoplasms

Conditions

• Head and Neck Neoplasms

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	PTV Reduction	The margin around the area to be treated with radiation is decreased due the image guidance of the cone beam CT
