I had IGRT, which as you know is Image Guided Radiation Therapy. The image in this case is an X-ray that is taken as each session starts to assure absolute accuracy.

Is Moffitt using a PET scan as the IG part of their procedure, or do they just have a PET that can see through the mask as a separate function and then follow on with the multiple IGRT sessions?
