As of IMV's 2007 Radiation Oncology Census Survey, of the treatment plans developed using images, the majority of images used are CT, used with 97% of the plans. MRI images are used with 11% of the plans, PET images with 11%, ultrasound images with 1%, and other images with less than 1% of the plans.
Based on responses to IMV’s 2007 Radiation Oncology Census Survey of U.S. Hospitals and Nonhospitals.
