    FIGURE 1.

    Flow diagram of image data, showing how planning CT was registered with simultaneously acquired dual-isotope 99mTc-labeled RBC SPECT and 111In-mAb RIS scans, enabling the projection of CTVRIS into the planning CT scan for assistance in modifying CTVpre to define CTVpost.

    FIGURE 2.

    Axial images of planning CT showing the use of RIS in modifying the prostate-bed CTV. Normal structures: bladder (blue), and rectum (green). (A) The CTVpre (red) was entered before the RIS/CT fusion. CTVRIS (yellow) is the projection of the delineated uptake on the RIS scan into the planning CT. (B) CTVRIS was used to modify CTVpre to define CTVpost (aqua). In this case, CTVpost is the union of CTVpre and CTVRIS in A.
