Rationale Advanced imaging techniques allow functional information to be derived and
integrated into treatment planning. Methods A systematic review was conducted with the …

Background Radiation therapy (RT) is essential in treating advanced lung cancer, but may
lead to radiation pneumonitis (RP). This systematic review investigates the use of pulmonary …

Recent functional lung imaging studies have presented evidence of an “indirect effect” on
perfusion damage, where regions that are unirradiated or lowly irradiated but that are …

Vessel segmentation in the lung is an ongoing challenge. While many methods have been
able to successfully identify vessels in normal, healthy, lungs, these methods struggle in the …

Purpose. To investigate indirect radiation-induced changes in airways as precursors to
atelectasis post radiation therapy (RT). Methods. Three Wisconsin Miniature Swine (WMS …

Background Despite technical developments in treatment delivery, radiation‐induced lung
toxicity (RILT) remains a crucial problem in thoracic radiotherapy. Clinically based RILT …

To analyze radiation induced changes in Hounsfield units and determine their correlation
with changes in perfusion and ventilation. Additionally, to compare the post-RT changes in …

Purpose Regional ventilation and its response to radiation dose can be estimated using four‐
dimensional computed tomography (4 DCT) and image registration. This study investigated …
