Geometrical Comparison and Quantitative Evaluation of 18F-FDG PET/CT- and DW-MRI-Based Target Delineation Before and During Radiotherapy for Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma

Geometrical Comparison and Quantitative Evaluation of 18F-FDG PET/CT- and DW-MRI-Based Target Delineation Before and During Radiotherapy for Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma

Background and PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the geometrical differences in and metabolic parameters of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) performed before and during radiotherapy (...
