Abstract
For at least three decades (1–6) there has been an interest in measuring tumor blood flow (TBF) and in the determination of its relation to the response of human tumors to radiation, drug therapies, and to the probability of development of distant metastases. The proton activation method which will be described below allows daily measurements of blood flow, in only 7 minutes, in patients being irradiated by photons of ≥20 MV, or by protons and other heavy particles.KeywordsTumor Blood FlowConventional Positron Emission TomographyClivus ChordomaNutritive Blood FlowRadiat Bioi Oncol PhysThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
