Figure 1 49 y/o patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the left nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Tumor target delineation using local threshold of 41% of the standard uptake volume (SUV) corrected for lean body mass (SULmax) of the lesion and absolute threshold of SUV2.5 was done on 18F-FDG PET/CT scan. Absolute threshold of SUV 2.5 delineation is seen on axial (A) coronal (B) and sagittal (C) fused PET/CT images with 270.5 ccm3.
