Integrating respiratory-gated PET-based target volume delineation in liver SBRT planning, a pilot study
BACKGROUND To assess the feasibility and benefit of integrating four-dimensional (4D) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) - computed tomography (CT) for liver stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) planning. METHODS 8 patients with 14 metastases were accrued in the study. They all underwent a non-gated PET and a 4D PET centered on the liver. The same CT scan was used for attenuation correc...
متن کاملAutomatic tumour volume delineation in respiratory-gated PET images.
INTRODUCTION Positron emission tomography (PET) is a state-of-the-art functional imaging technique used in the accurate detection of cancer. The main problem with the tumours present in the lungs is that they are non-stationary during each respiratory cycle. Tumours in the lungs can get displaced up to 2.5 cm during respiration. Accurate detection of the tumour enables avoiding the addition of ...
متن کاملRepeatability of Quantitative 18F-NaF PET: A Multicenter Study.
18F-NaF, a PET radiotracer of bone turnover, has shown potential as an imaging biomarker for assessing the response of bone metastases to therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the repeatability of 18F-NaF PET-derived SUV imaging metrics in individual bone lesions from patients in a multicenter study. METHODS Thirty-five castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with multiple metastases un...
متن کاملCorrection of partial-volume effect for PET striatal imaging: fast implementation and study of robustness.
UNLABELLED PET imaging of D(2) receptors or (18)F-L-dopa metabolism are reference protocols to follow and study neurodegenerative diseases, but the accuracy of striatal PET imaging is limited by the partial-volume effect (PVE). For such studies, the geometric transfer matrix (GTM) method has been proposed to correct the regional mean values for PVE and is now widely used. METHODS The GTM meth...
متن کاملFDG PET/CT for rectal carcinoma radiotherapy treatment planning: comparison of functional volume delineation algorithms and clinical challenges
PET/CT imaging could improve delineation of rectal carcinoma gross tumor volume (GTV) and reduce interobserver variability. The objective of this work was to compare various functional volume delineation algorithms. We enrolled 31 consecutive patients with locally advanced rectal carcinoma. The FDG PET/CT and the high dose CT (CTRT) were performed in the radiation treatment position. For each p...
