Study Description

Brief Summary: This clinical trial explores if using virtual reality (VR) headsets will help to improve patient understanding of their disease and decrease anxiety about treatment. Three-dimensional (3D) images may help the patient visualize their tumor and location better and therefore understand potential side effects. Visualizing a virtual representation of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) linear accelerator (Linac) may decrease treatment related anxiety.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Examine patient reported comprehension of their tumor characteristics and treatment plan following 3D virtual reality review of their imaging. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Examine patient reported treatment related anxiety prior to and following virtual reality (VR) simulation of the MRI Linac treatment process. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. COHORT I: Patients receive two-dimensional (2D) image review using standard computer screen on study. Patients undergo MRI and computed tomography (CT) imaging at screening and on study. COHORT II: Patients receive image review using virtual reality stimulation on study. Patients also view MRI treatment room using virtual reality stimulation. Patients undergo MRI and CT imaging at screening and on study.
