Dosimetric impact of amino acid positron emission tomography imaging for target delineation in radiation treatment planning for high-grade gliomas
Background and purpose: The amino-acid positron emission tomography (PET) tracer 3,4-dihydroxy-6-[18F] fluoro-l-phenylalanine (18F-DOPA) has increased sensitivity for detecting regions of biologically aggressive tumors compared to T1 contrast-enhanced (T1-CE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We per...
