CT and 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG) image fusion for optimization of conformal radiotherapy of lung cancers
P Giraud, D Grahek, F Montravers, MF Carette… - International Journal of …, 2001 - Elsevier
Purpose: To validate a computed tomography (CT) and 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG) image
fusion procedure and to evaluate its usefulness to facilitate target definition and treatment
planning in three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) for non–small-cell lung
cancer. Methods and Materials: Twelve patients were assessed by CT and FDG-coincidence
mode dual-head gamma camera (CDET) before radiotherapy. The patients were placed in a
similar position during CT and FDG-CDET. Matching was achieved by minimizing the cost …
