SCINTIX [BgRT} Using RMRS in Solid and Soft Tissue Tumors

This study proposes 6 anatomic groupings which each can be defined similarly as the "head and neck" grouping above. These 6 groupings are: (1) Head and Neck, (2) Thoracic not including lung parenchymal, (3) Hepatobiliary and other non-hepatobiliary abdominal tumors, (4) Retroperitoneal, (5) Pelvic, and (6) Distributed or orphan. The study is designed to gather essential imaging data on the RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System (RMRS) to validate the accuracy of FDG-directed BgRT, also known as SCINTIX therapy, in various anatomical groupings. Study subjects will go through the entire SCINTIX treatment workflow, including radiopharmaceutical administration and live PET imaging, but without turning on the treatment beam. Collected data will be used offline to generate the set of machine instructions that would have been used during treatment delivery to calculate the "emulated" BgRT dose distribution, i.e., what the delivered dose would have been had the treatment beam been turned on during the session. The 6th category ("Distributed or orphan") is meant to capture tumor types that can manifest across anatomies and/or for which utilization of stereotactic radiotherapy for treatment is relatively rare, with lymphomas being a prototypical example.
