Computed Tomography and Position Emission Tomography in Radiation Oncology (original) (raw)

This paper discusses the integration of computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) in radiation oncology, highlighting advancements made since the 1990s in treatment planning and delivery. The use of multi-modality imaging is emphasized for accurately defining tumor volumes and biological characteristics, ultimately aiming to improve treatment outcomes and reduce complications. Key findings suggest that enhanced imaging techniques are crucial for optimal radiation therapy tailored to individual tumors.
