CT characteristics allow identification of patient-specific susceptibility for radiation-induced lung damage

Abstract

There is a huge difference in radiosensitivity of lungs between patients. The present study aims to identify and quantify patient-specific radiosensitivity based on a single pre-treatment CT scan.Defraene G., van Elmpt W., Crijns W., Slagmolen P., De Ruysscher D., ''CT characteristics allow identification of patient-specific susceptibility for radiation-induced lung damage'', Radiotherapy and oncology, vol. 117, no. 1, pp. 29-35, October 2015.status: publishe
