The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of ionizing-radiation photo acoustic imaging (iRAI) for proton radiation treatment.
Inclusion Criteria: * Disease: Prostate cancer * Treatment site: * Prostate or prostate and seminal vesicle * No regional lymph node is involved * Patient's body weight: Patient's body weight is less than 350 lbs to consider the total weight limit that the ProteusONE treatment table and the robotic arm can operate * Treatment volume size: maximum size less than 15 x 15 cm in a cross-section and a thickness less than 20 cm to consider 2D transducer matrix size * Provision to sign the consent form and understand the non-invasiveness of iRAI * Patient agreement on tolerance on placing a water ba…
Ionizing-radiation photo acoustic imaging (iRAI) is a method of collecting images from inside the body using acoustic (sound) waves. Researchers will collect iRAI during a participant's radiation treatments. Researchers will use this imaging to examine the delivery and dose of the radiation to the participant's prostate. Researchers will also compare the delivery and dose calculated from iRAI to the expected doses that were calculated from CT images which are done as standard of care.
