In 18 F-FDG PET, tumors are often characterized by their metabolically active volume and
standardized uptake value (SUV). However, many approaches have been proposed to …

123 I-Labeled radiotracers are suitable for in vivo imaging of the dopaminergic system by
SPECT. However, precise measurement of striatal uptake is limited by scatter, attenuation, and …

See an invited perspective on this article on page 1043 . This multicenter phase II study
investigated a selective radiotherapy dose increase to tumor areas with significant 18 F-…

An iterative generic algorithm has been developed to compare three thresholding models
used to delineate gross tumour volume on 18 F-FDG PET images. 3D volume was extracted …

Combined PET/computed tomography (CT) is of value in cancer diagnosis, follow-up, and
treatment planning. For cancers located in the thorax or abdomen, the patient’s breathing …

Purpose It has been suggested that FDG PET has predictive value for the prognosis of
treated oesophageal carcinoma. However, the studies reported in the literature have shown …

Radiotherapy boost in patients with hypoxic lesions identified by 18F-FMISO PET/CT in non-small-cell
lung carcinoma: can we expect a better survival outcome without toxicity? [RTEP5 …

Background Concomitant chemo-radiotherapy is the reference treatment for non-resectable
locally-advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Increasing radiotherapy total dose …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the changes in tumour proliferation (using FLT), metabolism (using
FDG), and hypoxia (using F-miso) during curative (chemo-) radiotherapy (RT) in …

Background PET/CT image quality is directly influenced by the F-18-FDG injected activity.
The higher the injected activity, the less noise in the reconstructed images but the more …
