Soft Tissue Detection on MRI, Cone Beam CT and Fan Beam CT and Integration of Functional MRI
This clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cone beam computed tomography (CT), and fan beam CT in detecting soft tissue in patients with prostate and lung cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures done before and during radiation therapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

Who may be able to participate
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with lung cancer visible on CT who are scheduled to receive radiation treatment to the area of the primary tumor will be eligible for this study - Renal function tests (blood urea nitrogen \[BUN\], creatinine \[Cr\], glomerular filtration rate \[GFR\]) within 30 days of MRI with GFR \> 59 mL/min * All patients must give written informed consent on a form that includes Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization; patient therapy will not be directed by enrollment in this study; participation in this study will not preclude patient participation in additional therapy protocols; subjects will all be recruited from patients undergoing radiotherapy at one of the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)-affiliated radiotherapy clinics Exclusion Criteria: * Patients requiring continuous supplemental oxygen * Patients with metal implants including pace makers and defibrillators * Patients with cerebral aneurysm clips or middle ear implant * Patients with pain pump, a programmable shunt, or non-surgical metal (i.e. a foreign body) * Claustrophobic patients * Prior radiotherapy to body area under investigation * No vulnerable populations will be enrolled (prisoners, children, pregnant females, or institutionalized individuals); women of childbearing potential will undergo a pregnancy test
