Impact of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Breathing Motion Amplitude

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Cancer

In brief

This study involves a breathing motion assessment in healthy subjects before and after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) administration using MRI images. The hypothesis for this study is that CPAP administration will significantly reduce breathing motion. This may help cancer patients who are undergoing proton radiotherapy, so they possibly will not have to hold their breath during the procedure.
