Replay information available upon request. KeyPoints High-T vs. Low-T. While in the context of a diagnosis, a high-T system would surely lead to greater image resolution, the low-T system appears more suitable in the treatment phase where the key lies in the ability to locate the patient’s tumor in a dynamic way.
