A feasibility study of a novel PET-based molecular image guided radiation therapy (m-IGRT) system was conducted by comparing PET-based registration with radiographic registration. We selected a pair of opposing parallel-plane PET systems for the practical implementation. Five different sizes of 18F cylindrical sources (diameter: 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 mm) were used to determine setup errors. PET data acquisition times were 1, 3 and 5 min. Image registration was performed by 5 observers. Setup errors from the PET system were compared with setup errors from image intensifier-based fluoroscopy. The in-plane and cross-plane FWHM of the profile of a 2 mm diameter sources for the parallel-plane PET system were approximately 1.8 mm and 8.1 mm, respectively. The majority of the mean registration errors obtained from the PET-based registration were not significantly different from those obtained from the radiographic registration. Acquisition time did not appear to result in significant differences in the mean registration error. The mean registration error for the PET-based registration was found to be 0.93±0.33 mm. This is not statistically different from the radiographic registration which had mean registration error of 0.92±0.27 mm. Our results suggest that m-IGRT is feasible for clinical use with a parallel plane PET-based registration.
