摘要

A number of health disciplines are involved in diagnosing, staging and treating cancer, using a broad array of technologies and treatment approaches. One highly relevant discipline in this field is medical physics, where physics principles and methods are applied to medicine, contributing, in particular, to medical imaging and radiotherapy [1-3]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to assess disease extension and to localize the most aggressive part of the disease in the patient. Extraction and analysis of imaging profiles of individual patients may further give prognostic information, not necessarily obtained from patient-specific clinical or genetic information [4]. Images from such modalities may further be used as input for planning of surgery and radiotherapy, giving both surgeons and radiation oncologists guidance tools for eradicating the tumor. Furthermore, in radiotherapy, medical images provide the information necessary to delineate the tumor and organs at risk. Radiotherapy is a completely digital process, where developments are seen among others in delivery techniques and image-guided adapted strategies [5-7], With the aim of cancer care to move from the concept of 'one-size-fits-all' to individualized treatment, the term 'Precision cancer care' could also encompass radiotherapy tailored to the individual patient's medical image-based profile in addition to the genetic profile. The progress in imaging and radiotherapy towards precision cancer care relies on the development of dedicated methods for quantitative use of functional images in treatment selection, planning, delivery and response evaluation for the individual patient.
