Official Title: A Pilot Study of Functional Mapping and Brain Perfusion Imaging in Patients Receiving Base of Skull and Brain Radiotherapy: Developing Neurocognitive Functional Organs At Risk for Individualized Confo
Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as specialized types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may help in planning radiation therapy that does less damage to normal tissues.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying using functional MRI to see how well it works in planning radiation therapy in patients undergoing radiation therapy to the base of the skull and/or brain for nonmetastatic head and neck cancer.
