Figure 6

Dose distribution of FEC-PET/CT planned IMRT. An example of F18-fluoroethylcholine PET/CT-planned IMRT is shown (patient number 24, Table 1). PET/CT- fused images (upper part) showed a single positive lymph node in the right fossa obturatoria with an SUV max of 6,0 and an maximum diameter of 1,6 cm. The patient received IMRT irradiation of the pelvic lymph nodes to 45 Gy (five weekly fractions of 1,8 Gy) with a total boost dose of 66,6 Gy applied to the lymph node metastases (lower part of figure; colour wash images of transversal and coronal plane are depicted. Green: 42 Gy; red to orange: 60 to 72 Gy).
