Abstract

This chapter reviews oncologic application of multimodality image-guided treatment (MIGT) in theory and in practice. The basis and promise of multimodality imaging are reviewed with particular emphases on application to cancer therapy. Based on current practice of MIGT as illustrated by clinical examples in Figures 12.1 through 12.4, different experimental approaches, possibilities, and examples are listed. Although many creative combinations of imaging and therapy are possible, the realistic requirements for successful MIGT are enumerated for evaluation of this type of newer technology. Possibilities and limitations of MIGT are reviewed to arrive at a conclusion about a probable course of development of MIGT.
