CPC-022 PET for Clinical Staff, Radiation Therapy
Dr. Faulhaber concludes his four-part series for clinical staff by looking at the challenges of radiation therapy. He emphasizes the extreme importance of clear communication among the various clinical teams in understanding the plan and possible treatment protocols. For example, using a flat versus a curved table can have a significant impact on the success of the radiation therapy. Dr. Faulhaber also examines the various methods of drawing PET tumor volumes, including constant threshold edge detection and the more accurate gradient edge detection.
