What is Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning: A Review of PET Imaging Tracers and Methods to Incorporate PET/CT about?
## Purpose Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) has become a critical tool in clinical oncology with an expanding role in guiding radiation treatment planning. As its application and availability grows, it is increasingly important for practicing radiation oncologists to have a comprehensive understanding of how molecular imaging can be incorporated into radiation planning and recognize its potential limitations and pitfalls. The purpose of this article is to review the major approved positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals clinically being used today along with the methods used for their integration into radiation therapy including methods of image registration, target delineation, and emerging PET-guided protocols such as biologically-guided radiation therapy and PET-adaptive therapy. ## Methods and Materials A review approach was utilized using collective information from a broad review of the existing scientific literature sourced from PubMed search with relevant keywords and input from a multidisciplinary team of experts in medical physics, radiation treatment planning, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. ## Results A number of radiotracers imaging v
