Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A robotic platform will use data from motion-detection cameras to position a person's head in real time. This procedure is non-invasive and since healthy volunteers are enrolled in this study, no radiation is delivered, but in the future, the investigators plan to use this device during radiation treatment with patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aims to passively monitor the real-time head motions of healthy volunteers positioned to simulate whole brain radiation therapy. Such real-time head motion data is necessary in order to understand the type (amplitude/frequency) of motion that the robotic stage will be expected to compensate for and will play an important role in the overall modeling and designing process of the robotic prototype.
