Abstract
In contrast to radionuclide treatment, the planning of percutaneous radiotherapy relies on geometrical concepts and is therefore based on topographical imaging information. In addition to morphological imaging, PET offers relevant information in this process. This chapter gives a short background on the basics of treatment planning in radiation oncology and gives some details on the use of PET for gross tumor delineation and technical challenges. The clinical applications in lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and brain tumors are discussed
