Arm	Type	Interventions	Description
Patients undergoing radiation	Other	Radiation: THERMOGRAPHY IMAGING	In this study, patients undergoing radiation treatment will undergo thermography imaging during radiation treatment course. Patients will be evaluated with thermography imaging every week during the brachytherapy treatment for 5 procedures

THERMOGRAPHY IMAGING (Radiation)

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

The change in Infra-Red radiation emitted at wavelengths 0.8-1nm [Baseline and 4 weeks]: Measurement of IR

Secondary outcomes

Evaluating of efficacy of the radiation [3 months after the treatment]: The thermal and the optic imaging will be taken and analyzed in order to evaluate the changing in the temperature of the cervix comparing to the baseline as the indication of the response to the radiotherapy

+Eligibility

Sex: Female, ages: 18 Years to 90 Years

Inclusion Criteria:

* signed informed consent
* biopsy proven cervical cancer which will undergo definitive radiation

Exclusion Criteria:
