The Influence of Imaging in the Modern Practice of Radiation Oncology

The current practice of radiation oncology now requires a strong relationship with all radiology subspecialists and is embedded with a variety of imaging modalities and formats for both treatment planning and treatment execution. Unlike technology in the past, modern treatment technology delivery systems include kilovoltage imaging and cone beam computed tomography–guided treatment systems for daily patient treatment reproducibility. Today's radiation planning tools include 4-dimensional motion management and fusion software that can routinely blend anatomic and metabolic imaging for target volume definition.
