Improving Observer Variability in Target Delineation for Gastro-oesophageal Cancer—the Role of 18Ffluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the effect of the addition of fused positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging vs computed tomography alone in the identification of the gross tumour volume (GTV) in patients with gastro-oesophageal carcinoma.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients with gastro-oesophageal cancer referred for radiation therapy underwent both (18F)fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-PET (FDG-PET) and computed tomography in the treatment …
