Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as multifunctional magnetic resonance imaging and CT scans, may help reduce normal tissue damage in patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well radiation therapy planning techniques work in reducing damage to normal tissue in women undergoing breast-conserving surgery for ductal breast carcinoma.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Difference in lung NTDmean (biologically weighted [normalized] mean of total dose to lung normalized to 2 Gy fractions) in supine vs prone positions
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Closeness of agreement between MRI-based vs CT scan/clip- based delineation of tumor bed
Closeness of agreement between clinical target volumes (CTVs) defined using uniform margin vs those defined using knowledge of all excision margins
Difference in NTDmean to ipsilateral non-planning target volume (PTV) breast tissue, chest wall muscle, and heart
Difference in mean volume of PTV in supine versus prone positions
Difference in dose homogeneity within PTV in each position
- +2 more secondary outcomes
