Improvement of Internal Tumor Volumes of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients for Radiation Treatment Planning Using Interpolated Average CT in PET/CT

Improvement of Internal Tumor Volumes of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients for Radiation Treatment Planning Using Interpolated Average CT in PET/CT

Respiratory motion causes uncertainties in tumor edges on either computed tomography (CT) or positron emission tomography (PET) images and causes misalignment when registering PET and CT images. This phenomenon may cause radiation oncologists to delineate tumor volume inaccurately in radiotherapy tr...
