Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the stability of the eye, tumor and tantalum clips during the complete treatment with PBT, the following primary objectives will be studied: - The amount of inflammatory and protrusion swelling before PBT and after PBT. - The clip-clip distances before PBT and after PBT. - The clip-tumour distances before PBT and after PBT. - Tumour volume before and after treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the reproducibility and accuracy of MR-based geometrical measurements needed for the current planning of ocular PBT: - Clip-clip distances will be compared to calculated distances based on X-ray projections acquired during PBT. Our second secondary objective is to assess the value of bone as a reference to remove the need for clips. Therefore we will investigate the tumour-bone and clip-bone distances right before PBT and just after PBT. | — |
