Abstract
We investigated the impact of 18F-fluoroethyltyrosine (FET) positron emission tomography (PET) on radiation therapy planning for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) and a suspected nonenhancing tumor compared with standard magnetic resonance imaging. We performed volumetric analyses between clinical target volumes and respective biological target volumes using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. FET-PET may help improve delineation of GBM in cases with a suspected nonenhancing component and reduce the risk of potential geographical miss.
