{ "ATHERO-RT: Real-Time Atherosclerosis Activity After Thoracic Radiotherapy", "This study is looking at how radiation therapy to the chest might affect your heart's arteries. Researchers will use a special scan called 18-F-NaF Cardiac PET/MRI (Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to see changes in your arteries before and after radiation. They are also using a CT Angiogram (a special X-ray to look at blood vessels) at the start. This study is for people aged 18 or older who have cancer that has spread a little (oligometastatic disease) and are having radiation therapy to their chest, where the heart will be in the treatment area. The main goal is to see if these imaging methods can successfully detect changes in atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) after radiation. This is a small pilot study with 10 participants, and its current status is unclear.", "design": "This is a small, single-arm study, meaning all participants receive the same interventions. It plans to enroll 10 participants.", "commitments": "You would receive an 18-F-NaF Cardiac PET/MRI and a CT Angiogram at the beginning of the study. You would have another 18-F-NaF Cardiac PET/MRI 6 months after your radiation therapy is finished.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "You will be followed for 6 months after completing your radiation therapy to assess the feasibility of the imaging.", }
