Table 1. Comparison of GTV volumes defined by each observer with dual-modality image fusion (MRI/CT) and tri-modality (MRI/CT/PET) image fusion.
Patient | GTVMRI/CT (cm3) | GTVMRI/CT/PET (cm3) | ||||||||
Obs. 1 | Obs. 2 | Obs. 3 | Mean | COV | Obs. 1 | Obs. 2 | Obs. 3 | Mean | COV | |
1 | 19.91 | 22.72 | 20.47 | 21.03 | 0.07 | 17.91 | 19.82 | 17.69 | 18.47 | 0.06 |

GTV = gross tumor volume; Obs. 1 = observer 1; COV = coefficient of variation.
