Imaging in radiotherapy - Nuclear Sciences and Applications
... Imaging has become the primary source of information in the design of radiation therapy. As such, it is of critical importance that (i) the signal contained in these images is well understood, and, (ii) the spatial distribution is precise and accurate.

Thus, an isotropic spatial resolution of 100 μm seems like a reasonable goal because it would allow us to measure their number, size and perhaps individual functional status. However, ...
