The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the influence and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET in
target volume definition as a complementary modality to CT for patients with head and neck …

Purpose/objective The use of FDG-PET for target volume delineation has been validated by
our group for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma …

PURPOSE: This study investigated two fixed threshold methods to delineate the target
volume using 18FDG PET/CT before and during a course of radical radiotherapy in locally …

Background Positron emission tomography (PET) has a potential improvement for staging
and radiation treatment planning of various tumor sites. We analyzed the use of 18 F …

PURPOSE: To determine the impact of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission
tomography (PET) in radiotherapy target delineation and patient management for head and …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of the use of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron
emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in radiotherapy target delineation …

PURPOSE: Target-volume delineation for radiation treatment to the head and neck area
traditionally is based on physical examination, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic …

PURPOSE: To define the best threshold for tumor volume delineation of the (18) fluoro-2-
deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) signal for radiotherapy …

PURPOSE: To prospectively study the impact on tumor and normal tissue delineation for RT
planning by use of hybrid PET-CT simulation for patients with head-and-neck cancer …

Abstract Background. 2‐deoxy‐2 [18F] fluoro‐d‐glucose–positron emission tomography
(FDG‐PET) imaging can be registered with CT images and can potentially improve neck …
