3. Data acquisition and reconstruction
• Depending on the clinical question (staging, target volume
delineation, response assessment) different acquisition protocols
and co-axial imaging ranges are used
• For target volume delineation: a limited co-axial imaging range
may be acceptable
• Attention must be given to patient positioning
• For follow-up scans and response assessment, the same
acquisition protocol should be used in terms of:
-
Patient positioning
-
Imaging range
-
Acquisition parameters
-
Image reconstruction
