Segmentation of positron emission tomography images: some recommendations for target delineation in radiation oncology.
Positron emission tomography can be used in radiation oncology for the delineation of target volumes in the treatment planning stage. Numerous publications deal with this topic and the scientific community has investigated many methodologies, ranging from simple uptake thresholding to very elaborate probabilistic models. Nevertheless, no consensus seems to emerge. This paper reviews delineation...
متن کاملVariability in target delineation of cervical carcinoma: A Korean radiation oncology group study (KROG 15-06)
PURPOSE To determine inter-observer variability in target volume definition of cervical cancer in radical and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) settings. METHODS Eight physicians contoured CTVs of 2 patients underwent definitive and postoperative RT. Each volume was analyzed using the individual/median volume ratio and generalized conformity index (CIgen). And center of mass (COM) of each contour wa...
متن کاملComparison of PET/CT and CT-based tumor delineation and its effects on the radiation treatment planning for non-small cell lung cancer
Introduction: Tumor volume delineation is the most important step in the radiation treatment planning. In this study the impact of PET/CT data on the tumor delineation precision of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was investigated. Methods: PET/CT images of 20 patients with primary NSCLC were obtained and imported to the treatment planning system for im...
متن کاملGuidelines for treatment naming in radiation oncology
Safety concerns may arise from a lack of standardization and ambiguity during the treatment planning and delivery process in radiation therapy. A standardized target and organ-at-risk naming convention in radiation therapy was developed by a task force comprised of several Radiation Oncology Societies. We present a nested-survey approach in a community setting to determine the methodology for r...
متن کاملTheragnostic imaging for radiation oncology : dose - painting
112 http://oncology.thelancet.com Vol 6 February 2005 Diagnostic imaging, from radiographs to CT, has been used throughout the history of radiotherapy to define the site to which the radiation should be delivered for patients with cancer. Theragnostic imaging is a method by which the radiation dose can be delivered in the four dimensions of space and time to achieve the optimum outcome after ra...
