GTV delineation: PET & variability

Inter-observer variability

• 10 GEJ ca undergoing RT • 6 Radiation Oncologists

• CT alone vs PET-CT (manual)

• Median observer overlap analysis (bars = Observer Agreement Index)

Intra-observer variability PET-CT vs CT: 72.7% vs 69.1%

• Plans using PET-CT reduced both interobserver and intraobserver variability

PET-CT vs CT: 78.7% vs 76.1%
