Paediatric and Adolescent Radiotherapy Without Anaesthesia Using Audio-Visual Distraction - Are the Patients Moving?
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Cone Beam CT Scan for Observational Study. Completed, enrolled 65 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
At Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, a comprehensive approach to help children stay still during radiation treatment (RT) such as audio-visual distraction (television) is routinely used. These techniques help reduce the need for sedation or general anaesthesia to keep children still to avoid the chance of missing the tumour during RT. This approach has not been systematically evaluated to determine its effectiveness at reducing movement of children receiving RT. The purpose of the study is to measure the movement of children between the beginning and the end of RT to see how much they moved during treatment.

Interventions
In this study, children will receive one CBCT scan before starting RT as part of standard approach. Then after RT, another CBCT scan will be used to measure movement between the beginning and end of RT.
