描述 | Medical imaging progressed to a standard undreamt of notvery many yearsago. The advances are due to continuousdevelopment of radiological techniques and the introductionof magnetic resonance imaging.With the improved and new methods three-dimensional targetvolumes for radiation therapy can be defined with hithertounknown precision. This leads to animprovement inirradiation techniques and, as a consequence, to a higherlikelihood of tumor control and a lower risk of normaltissuecomplications.Besides the improvement in irradiation techniques thenewimaging methods may enable great strides in tumor responsemonitoring, not only in the detection of morphologicalalterations but also by showing physiological changes inthetumor during and after treatment by means of MRI and PET.This notonly leads to better prognostic information but mayalso allow earlyevaluation of the response to treatment.It may then be possible to individualize the radiation dosebut also the alternative-treatment for non-responders.This is certainly a future direction for radiation oncology. |
