Abstract
The use of hybrid PET/MR imaging for radiotherapy treatment planning has the potential to reduce tumor and organ displacements caused by different scan times and setup changes. Although with mixed results mainly due to single-center studies with small sample size, PET/MR imaging could provide better target delineation, especially by reducing coregistration discrepancies on computed tomography simulation scan and offering better soft tissue contrast. The main limitation to drive stronger conclusions is due to the relatively low availability of hybrid PET/MR imaging systems, mainly limited to large academic centers.
