Almost all radiation therapy treatment plans, 98%, use CT images. MRI images are used with 12% of the plans, PET images with 8%, ultrasound images with 1%, and other images with less than 1% of the plans.
Note: The summation of the percentages by site type exceeds 100% because some respondents specified multiple modalities.
