How best to characterize CT lung findings after radiation therapy Serial chest CT is cornerstone of post-RT surveillance, but "accurate interpretation is critical to avoid misdiagnosis."

Up to 64% of patients treated with high-precision radiation therapy (HPRT) for lung cancer develop imaging findings that can mimic tumor recurrence, but only 10% of these are confirmed to be true disease relapse #radiology #HPRT #lungcancer
