Evaluating diffusion ‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging for target volume delineation in head and neck radiotherapy

ConclusionMean GTVs with the addition of DWI had slightly larger volumes compared to standard CT and CT/PET volumes. DWI may add supplemental visual information for GTV delineation while having a small impact on IOV, therefore potentially improving target volume delineation.
