Imaging for RT planning

Has to be precise

Has to provide safe judgment of the extent of the disease

CT images are base for treatment planning

On CT, it can be difficult to discriminate vital tumour tissue

from scar tissue, oedema, atelectasis…

CT can not stage correctly

detect small metastases

detect distant metastases
