18F-FDOPA positron emission tomography and diffusion tensor imaging for radiation therapy of high-grade gliomas with dose painting

In the radiation therapy of high-grade gliomas, T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast enhancement does not accurately represent the extent of the tumour. Functional imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), can potentially...
