  24. III. Planning studies • Feasibility of BCRT • 18F-FDG-PET-guided BCRT for head and neck cancer B Vanderstraeten et al. Radiother Oncol 2006;79:249-58 • 18F-FMISO-guided BCRT for head and neck cancer D Thorwarth et al. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2007;68:291-300

  25. Feasibility of BCRT • 18F-FMISO-PET-guided BCRT for a base-of-tongue cancer case M Alber et al. Phys Med Biol 2003;48:N31-5 • 18F-FDG-PET- and 99mTc-MAA-SPECT-guided BCRT for 2 lung cancer cases DK Das et al. Med Phys 2004;31:1452-61 • 18F-FDG-PET- guided BCRT for an oropharyngeal cancer case B Vanderstraeten et al. Phys Med Biol 2006;51:N277-86

  26. 18F-FDG-PET-guided BCRT for head and neck cancer

  27. Set-up • 15 head and neck cancer patients • 18F-FDG-PET imaging of tumor metabolism • Dose painting by contours (“contour-based IMRT”) versus dose painting by numbers (“voxel intensity-based IMRT”) • Comparison of clinically relevant dose-volume characteristics • Between “cb250” and “vib216-250” • Between “vib216-250” and “vib216-300” • DVHs

  28. Target dose prescription

  29. “cb250” (blue) versus “vib216-250” (green)

  30. “vib216-250” (green) versus “vib216-300” (orange)

  31. Example

  32. Treatment plan evaluation

  33. 18F-FMISO-guided BCRT for head and neck cancer • 13 head and neck cancer patients • 18F-FMISO-PET hypoxia imaging • Comparison of • Conventional IMRT • 18F-FDG-PET-guided dose painting by contours • 18F-FMISO-PET-guided dose painting by numbers • DVHs, TCP

  34. 18F-FMISO-guided BCRT for head and neck cancer D Thorwarth, SM Eschmann, F Paulsen and M Alber Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2007;68:291-300.

  35. IV. Conclusions • The rationale for dose painting is clear • Dose painting is technically feasible • By contours • By numbers • Current issues? See Discussion at 12:30
