This discussion is intended to provide other radiation oncologists with methodological details on the use of PET imaging for treatment planning in radiation oncology, or other oncologists with an introduction to the use of PET in planning radiation therapy.

Keywords: PET; Radiation therapy; Simulation; Treatment planning.
