Biological target volume based on fluorine-18-fluorode-oxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging: a spurious proposition?

Biological target volume based on fluorine-18-fluorode-oxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging: a spurious proposition?

Abstract Purpose To assess whether the high metabolic region of fluorine-18-fluorode-oxyglucose (18F-FDG) in the primary lesion is the crux for recurrence in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), to assess the feasibility and rationale for use of biological target volume (BTV) based on 18F-F...
