Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention involves an additional MRI scan for participants that will only be used for the purpose of the study and not for the radiotherapy treatment planning. Participants would otherwise be attending for an MRI scan for the purposes of planning for their radiotherapy treatment (simulation) but the intervention is an additional scan. The scan will be performed by a suitably qualified allied health professional. The scan will be performed at only one time point and on the same day as their radiotherapy planning MRI or clinical research MRI and the additional scan will take approximately 15 minutes.
The additional MRI scan will be completed with fewer sequences than the first scan. The sequences used will be one anatomical and one functional imaging sequence (DWI).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 298052 0
To assess the reproducibility of Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) setup in the radiotherapy position. This will be assessed through the acquisition of 2 MRI sets of scans which will be fused and compared to determine the consistency of imaging and impact of MRI distortion, landmark positions and contours.
Timepoint [1] 298052 0
At time of MRI scan
Primary outcome [2] 298061 0
To assess the consistency of imaging information considering the magnitude and consistency of anatomical and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) distortion. This will be assessed through the acquisition of 2 MRI sets of scans which will be fused and compared to determine the consistency of imaging and impact of MRI distortion, landmark positions and contours.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will evaluate the reproducibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) setup of patients in the radiotherapy treatment position and assess how this impacts the image quality for radiotherapy planning and treatment delivery.
Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 years or above and have been diagnosed with prostate, head and neck, central nervous system, rectal, cervix or lung cancer.
Study details: Patients would otherwise be undergoing an MRI scan in the radiotherapy department for their cancer treatment or other research purposes. Patients will undergo a planning MRI scan in the treatment position then the patient would then get off the MRI couch and be set-up for a second MRI scan with limited MRI sequences.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the consistency of positioning and the impact of MRI distortion, landmark positions and contours between scans.
