A Study Evaluating a New Radiation Treatment Workflow (NGDS)
Purpose
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the "Next Generation Delivery System" (NGDS) and determine if this machine will be more efficient at delivering radiation in shorter treatment time and better patient tolerance, with less breath holding.

Detailed Description
This study is a prospective multi-center clinical trial. It is designed to evaluate the feasibility of a breath hold workflow on a new treatment platform (NGDS DMAT). Eligible participants will be receiving stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) under breath hold conditions to targets in the thorax and upper abdomen as part of their routine care. Enrolled participants will be asked to undergo a mock treatment on this new treatment platform under breath hold conditions. Participant images for set up and alignment will be obtained on the NGDS.
