| Research Abstract |
A basic phantom study of target delineation of the gross tumor volume (GTV) containing inhomogeneously distributed18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) was performed. The contours of the tumor model spheres delineated by using standardized uptake value (SUV) were often different from the actual contours of the spheres. When an insidelayer of the sphere contained no FDG, the SUV of the outer layer was lower than the calculated value.In the clinical study, the data for 53 patients with histologically proven primary squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) of the head and neck treated with radiotherapy were analyzed. All patients underwent contrast-enhanced (CE)-CT and FDG-PET before radiation therapy planning (RTP). The PET-based GTV (PET-GTV) for RTP was defined using both CE-CTimages and FDG-PET images. The CE-CT-based GTV (CT-GTV) for RTP was defined using CE-CT images alone. Sensitivity of PET-GTV for identifying the primary tumor was 96%, but that of CT-GTV was 81% (p
