Abstract:
Current advances in imaging research,molecular biology,chemistry,and computing have enabled the recent emergence of molecular imaging. Molecular Imaging is an advanced imaging combining anatomical and metabolic information into one. Combined with the radiation planning system,molecular imaging is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and staging of malignant disease,image-guided therapy planning. Especially,molecular imaging has a significant role in the delineation of tumor target volume,optimization of radiation planning. This article introduces the clinical use of molecular imaging in radiation oncology in combination with the application of PET/CT.
