PET enables better monitoring of intratumoral changes
Growing use of hypofractionation in clinical practice and its link to increased treatment resistance due to tumor cell hypoxia means that it may be beneficial to visualize and quantify hypoxic areas with PET imaging to monitor changes in tumor metabolism during treatment.
