  Introduction: Aim of the current study was to compare gross tumour volume delineation for radiation therapy planning by PET/CT and CT scan in head and neck tumour patients. Methods: 70 oncological patients with primary head and neck cancer were enrolled in the study. CT and 18F-FDGPET/ CT scans were performed within 3 weeks of enrolment in the planned irradiation position. For radiation therapy planning delineation of the target volumes was performed manually both in conventional topometric CT slides and in FDG-PET/CT images. Gross tumour target volume was calculated (GTVcm3) using both modalities. Numerical and geometrical (intersection divided union ratio) comparisons were assessed. Intraobserver, interobserver, and intermodality variation analyses were performed. Results: Intra- and interobserver agreement (intraclass.. Read More»
