Abstract
Planning treatment for patients with cancer relies heavily on imaging information to establish tumor stage at presentation and to assess tumor response to treatment. It is also becoming increasingly desirable to define precisely the tumor target to deliver various forms of local treatment as accurately as possible. Because different imaging modalities have different inherent soft tissue contrast properties, use of several imaging modalities in a stepwise approach is common.Keywords
