Evaluation of acute esophageal radiation-induced damage using magnetic resonance imaging: a feasibility study in mice

Evaluation of acute esophageal radiation-induced damage using magnetic resonance imaging: a feasibility study in mice

Abstract Background Thoracic and head and neck cancer radiation therapy (RT) can cause damage to nearby healthy organs such as the esophagus, causing acute radiation-induced esophageal damage (ARIED). A non-invasive method to detect and monitor ARIED can facilitate optimizing RT to avoid ARIED while...
