The field of radiation oncology relies heavily on imaging modalities. From initial consultation to treatment completion, images are used to guide nearly every step of the patient encounter. Technological advances in diagnostic radiology continue to be readily incorporated into clinical practice, with adaptive and functional studies able to extract and display ever more physical and novel biological data about patients and their tumors. At the same time, no imaging technique can address all the uncertainties inherent in cancer therapy. The application, interpretation, and limitations of various imaging modalities are discussed from a radiation oncology perspective.
放射肿瘤学领域严重依赖于成像模态。从初始会诊到治疗完成，图像几乎被用于指导患者诊疗过程的每一个步骤。诊断放射学的技术进步不断被迅速纳入临床实践，适应性和功能性研究能够提取并展示关于患者及其肿瘤的越来越多的物理和新的生物学数据。与此同时，没有一种成像技术能够解决癌症治疗中固有的所有不确定性。本文将从放射肿瘤学的角度讨论各种成像模态的应用、解读及局限性。
