Impact of tumour motion compensation and delineation methods on FDG PET ‐based dose painting plan quality for NSCLC radiation therapy

ConclusionsThe dose painting plans were more sensitive to segmentation of boost volumes than PET motion compensation in this study sample. Careful consideration of boost target delineation and motion compensation strategies should guide the design of NSCLC dose painting trials.
