- ABSTRACT
- Dilemma 1: Who should contour the PET volume-the radiation oncologist or the nuclear medicine physician?
- Dilemma 2: What is the FDG SUV threshold for PET which can optimally demarcate a malignant tumor from normal tissue, i.e. define the real tumor volume?
- Dilemma 3: How to determine the target volume when the PET findings do not coincide with the CT target?
- Dilemma 4: What about tumors that are positive with CT but negative with PET and vice versa?
