Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Healthy volunteers: Quality of the scans will be assessed by rating the motion artifacts and visibility of the lung and mediastinal parenchyma. * Patients with stage III NSCLC: Optimization of lung MRI for radiotherapy purposes (i.e. tumor delineation and motion characterization) defined by the quality of the images. Quality will be assessed by rating of the scans regarding the visibility of the primary tumor, lymph nodes and mediastinal parenchyma. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
