摘要: A combination of four-dimensional computed tomography with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission (4D CT-FDG PET) was used to delineate gross tumor volume (GTV) in esophageal cancer (EC). Eighteen patients EC were prospectively enrolled. Using 4D images taken during the respiratory cycle, average CT image phase fused FDG PET order analyze optimal standardized uptake values (SUV) or threshold. PET-based GTV (GTVPET) determined eight different threshold methods using auto-contouring function on workstation. The difference ratio (VR) and conformality index (CI) between GTVPET CT-based (GTVCT )w as investigated. sets via automatic co-registrations available for 12 13 GTVCT values. decision coefficient (R 2 ) length at levels SUV 2.5, 20% 25% 0.79, 0.65 0.54, respectively. mean 29.41 ± 19.14 ml. VR ranged from 0.30 1.48. 0.98, close 1, 2.5. CI 0.28 0.58. best (0.58) 2.5 (0.57). has potential assist contouring GTV. setting achieves correlation length, VR, 4D-PET/CT images.
