Ionizing-radiation photo acoustic imaging (iRAI) is a method of collecting images from inside the body using acoustic (sound) waves. Researchers will collect iRAI during a participant's radiation treatments. Researchers will use this imaging to examine the delivery and dose of the radiation to the participant's prostate. Researchers will also compare the delivery and dose calculated from iRAI to the expected doses that were calculated from CT images which are done as standard of care.

RECRUITINGProton treatment dose overlay between predicted values and iRAI in CT images at the center plane of a tumor to achieve
95% confidence interval in the gamma passing rate higher than 90% using 5%/5 mm criteria
Time frame: Approximately 36 months for trial accrual
Reliability of range discrepancies between predicted values and iRAI during 3-day treatments at the proximal, center, and distal plane of a tumor to achieve
Standard error of less than 5% between the passing rates when using a 5 mm distance-to-agreement
Time frame: Approximately 36 months for trial accrual
