FDG-PET/CT for planning of radiation therapy.
It is now possible to use positron emission tomography (PET) fused with computed tomography (CT) to optimize radiation therapy (RT) treatment planning and evaluation, The authors provide an overview of the use of PET/CT for RT and suggest a protocol for the integration of PET/CT into treatment plann...

Findings from PET/CT can improve the treatment plans by identifying the entire extent of disease, can assess response to RT, and can be used to monitor for disease recurrence. Radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians must be familiar with pitfalls in the interpretation of FDG-PET/CT to avoid both false-positive and false-negative findings. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: diagnostic images pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
