Delineation of the tumor region-of interest is crucial
when planning boost doses of radiation therapy to a
dominant intraprostatic tumor nodule. Comparison of
prostatic tumor volume measurements defined on T2W
images, Apparent Diffusion Coefficient maps and Dynamic
Contrast Enhanced images in 16 patients due for
radiation dose-boosting to tumor revealed a significant
difference in measured volumes between the sequences,
with T2W-derived volumes being up to 48.7% larger than
DCE-derived volumes and therefore most useful in the
context of radiation therapy planning.
