Infrared molecular spectroscopy is a key tool for the observation of gas in the innermost region of disks around T Tauri stars. In this contribution, we examine how infrared spectroscopy of CO can be used to study the inner truncation region of disks around T Tauri stars. The inferred inner gas radii for T Tauri star disks are compared to the inner dust radii of disks, to the expectations of models for disk truncation, and to the orbital distribution of short-period extra-solar planets.
