Abstract:
With the development of image technology,functional imaging was gradually applied to contouring the gross target volume,which generated the concept of biological target volume and biological intensity-modulated radiation therapy.In this review,we introduced our work and the current status of ~(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose imaging,amino acids imaging,nucleic acid imaging,hypoxic imaging,gene imaging and molecular imaging.The future of functional imaging and it application in biological intensity-modulated radiation therapy were discussed in prospect.
