	abstract = {Imaging techniques for the characterization and delineation of primary lung tumours and lymph nodes are a prerequisite for adequate radiotherapy. Numerous imaging modalities have been proposed for this purpose, but only computed tomography (CT) and FDG-PET have been implemented in clinical routine. Hypoxia PET, dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (DCE-CT), dual energy CT (DECT) and (functional) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hold promise for the future. Besides information on the primary tumour, these techniques can be used for quantification of tissue heterogeneity and response. In the future, treatment strategies may be designed which are based on imaging techniques to optimize individual treatment.},
