Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Practical aspects of 18F-FDG PET-MRI protocol (e.g. imbedding of our current MRI protocol in the PET-MRI protocol, presence of artifacts, optimal patient preparation) 2. Assessment of the primary tumor: size and FDG uptake on 18F-FDG PET-MRI versus 18F-FDG PET-CT) 3. Lymph node visualisation on 18F-FDG PET-MRI versus 18F-FDG PET-CT (pelvic and paraaortal) 4. Patient comfort during 18F-FDG PET-MRI versus 18F-FDG PET-CT 5. Detection of distant metastases 6. The possibilities of PET-MRI based radiation treatment planning in a PET-MRI system not specially equipped with radiotherapy treatment facilities will be explored. | — |
