Changes of lung parenchyma density following high dose radiation therapy for thoracic carcinomas – an automated analysis of follow up CT scans

Abstract Background An objective way to qualify the effect of radiotherapy (RT) on lung tissue is the analysis of CT scans after RT. In this analysis we focused on the changes in Hounsfield units (ΔHU) and the correlation with the corresponding radiation dose after RT. Methods Pre- and post-RT CT sc...
