Functional imaging to assist volume definition
Considerations
• Contouring with PET-CT can be operator dependent
• no robust standard for display thresholds
• Adjustments to the image windowing settings are often arbitrary
• can easily make the tumour appear bigger or smaller introducing a
potential systematic error
• Alternative is use automatic or semi automatic segmentation methods
(different volumes depending on method used)
