Comparison of gross target volumes based on four‐dimensional CT, positron emission tomography‐computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging in thoracic esophageal cancer

Abstract Purpose The application value of 18F‐FDG PET‐CT combined with MRI in the radiotherapy of esophageal carcinoma was discussed by comparing the differences in position, volume, and the length of GTVs delineated on the end‐expiration (EE) phase of 4DCT, 18F‐FDG PET‐CT, and T2W‐MRI. Methods A to...
