Excerpt

Advances in various imaging modalities have apparently improved the clinical outcome in oncology. Staging and treatment planning of cancer have mainly been based on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition to these anatomical imaging techniques, biological and functional imaging, including positron emission tomography (PET) and functional CT and MRI, have recently advanced. With the addition of PET or PET/CT to CT and MRI, the staging accuracy has improved by detecting nodal and distant metastases [1, 2]. Furthermore, clinical studies using PET/CT for treatment planning have been reported [36]. It has been demonstrated that fused PET/CT images are useful to delineate gross tumor volume (GTV) [2, 3, 7]. …
