Abstract Positron Emission Tomography (PET), a non-invasive functional imaging method at
the molecular level, images the distribution of biologically targeted radiotracers with high …

This paper overviews one of the most important, interesting, and challenging problems in
oncology, the problem of lung cancer diagnosis. Developing an effective computer-aided …

Historically, anatomical CT and MR images were used to delineate the gross tumour
volumes (GTVs) for radiotherapy treatment planning. The capabilities offered by modern …

Accurate lung tumor delineation plays an important role in radiotherapy treatment planning.
Since the lung tumor has poor boundary in positron emission tomography (PET) images and …

Purpose: Target delineation using only CT information introduces large geometric
uncertainties in radiotherapy for lung cancer. Therefore, a reduction of the delineation …

Lung cancer (LC) still represents one of the most common tumours in both women and men.
PET/CT is a whole-body non-invasive imaging procedure that has been increasingly used …

We present a novel method for the joint segmentation of anatomical and functional images.
Our proposed methodology unifies the domains of anatomical and functional images …

Purpose: To compare source-to-background ratio (SBR)-based PET-CT auto-delineation
with pathology in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to investigate whether auto …

This document describes best practice and evidence based recommendations for the use of
FDG-PET/CT for the purposes of radiotherapy target volume delineation (TVD) for curative …

Radiomics is a medical imaging analysis approach based on computer-vision. Metabolic
radiomics in particular analyses the spatial distribution patterns of molecular metabolism on …
