Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria

Measurable disease on the planning computed tomography (CT) scan
Patients with lung cancer visible on fluoroscopic imaging or planning CT who are scheduled to receive external beam radiation treatment will be eligible for this study

Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria

Patients requiring continuous supplemental oxygen due to the requirement of spirometry during all imaging studies
Pregnant females
