Abstract

Radiation oncology has evolved to the point at which it is ripe for the clinical introduction of routine four-dimensional (4D) PET-CT scanning. The initial use of 4D PET-CT will be for target definition, followed by the use of standardized uptake values (SUVs) for dose-painting. 4D PET-CT also has some potential applications in outcome prediction and dose-response studies.
