Purpose The purpose of this educational report is to provide an overview of the present state‐of‐the‐art
PET auto‐segmentation ( PET ‐ AS ) algorithms and their respective validation, …

Purpose: To investigate the role of beam orientation optimization in intensity-modulated
radiation therapy (IMRT) and to examine the potential benefits of noncoplanar intensity-…

Purpose: To investigate the factors affecting the 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) uptake
in tumors at a microscopic level, by correlating it with tumor hypoxia, cellular proliferation, …

Purpose: To compare two potential positron emission tomography (PET) tracers of tumor
hypoxia in an animal model. Methods and Materials: The purported hypoxia imaging agents 18 …

Purpose : Selection of beam configuration in currently available intensity-modulated radiotherapy
(IMRT) treatment planning systems is still based on trial-and-error search. Computer …

Purpose: To introduce the concept of pseudo beam’s-eye–view (pBEV), to establish a
framework for computer-assisted beam orientation selection in intensity-modulated radiation …

In intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the incident beam orientations are often
determined by a trial and error search. The conventional beam's-eye view (BEV) tool becomes …

The aim of this study was to report a single‐institution experience and commissioning data
for Elekta VersaHD linear accelerators (LINACs) for photon beams in the Eclipse treatment …

PURPOSE: To characterize a tumor model containing a hypoxia-inducible reporter gene
and to demonstrate utility by comparison of reporter gene expression to the uptake and …

Histopathologic validation of a PET tracer requires assessment of colocalization of the tracer
with its intended biologic target. Using thin tissue section autoradiography, it is possible to …
