Figure 1

2D histograms for comparison of dose painting plans. A comparison of FDG and 64Cu-ATSM dose painting plans showing diverging results. The FDG and Cu3 2D histograms tend to display a separation of the high-dose areas indicating an increasing mismatch at the high-dose levels and therefore a poor degree of overlap between the dose plans. The dose is distributed with an even greater variation when comparing FDG and Cu24. The two dose painting plans based on early and late 64Cu-ATSM demonstrate an improved correlation compared to FDG vs. 64Cu-ATSM, however linearity is not observed.
