Biological image-guided radiotherapy requires that PET accurately identifies
biologically relevant sub-volumes within a tumor. In this framework, an
immobilization device was developed to study multi-imaging (CT, micro-MRI,
micro-PET, and autoradiography) registration of mouse tumors. The registration
accuracy assessed by calculating the average minimal distance between two skew
lines was in the order of 0.2-0.3mm.
