Figure 2

A 50-year-old male patient (patient no. 13) with a recurrent squamous cell cancer of the right petrous bone. The extent of infiltrative intracerebral extension was not delineable to the full extent by MRI. The MRI/CT volume is delineated in red and the PET volume in green. The additional PET information is included in the initial treatment fields (magenta). Note the reduction in the boost volume delineated in turquoise.
