The clinical studies proposed in this program project application require a significant coordinated effort oftechnology translation with careful attention to data collection and analysis. The safe and effectiveimplementation of new paradigms for treatment planning, in-room verification, and feedback tightly linkedto treatment plan adjustment will require the combined efforts of a dedicated team of physicists,dosimetrists, and technologists. The careful collection of imaging data in a protocol setting will require onsitestaff.The Core will provide the effort to support daily in-room imaging and monitoring of treatment. Through thecombined skills of an integrated group of experts in the various components of the dynamic refinementprocess, we will be able to translate these concepts to the clinic and provide feedback for optimization andlocalization strategies. This core will be responsible for all aspects of the transition to the adaptive planningand treatment evaluation (including plan modification during treatment) process. Staff of the Core will assistin implementation of new localization, planning, and evaluation tools and methodologies in the clinic.Volumetric imaging data and related measures of position and motion will be collected by the Core staff for useby the projects and other cores.
