Abstract
During the last decades, radiation oncology has been subject to a number of technological innovations. Particle therapy has evolved in parallel to the modern high-precision photon radiotherapy techniques and offers a superior dose distribution with decreased integral dose to healthy tissues. With advancing precision of treatment, the necessity for accurate and confident target volume delineation is rising. When morphological imaging reaches its limitations, molecular imaging can provide valuable information.
