PET/MRI-guided GTV delineation during radiotherapy planning in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue

ConclusionCombination of PET/MRI provides more information during target tumor mass delineation in radiotherapy planning of patients with SCC of the tongue than other standard imaging methods. The most frequently matching threshold value was 30% of SUVmax for primary tumor delineation and 30 –40% of SUVmax for nGTV determination.
