Differentiation between non-small cell lung cancer and radiation pneumonitis after carbon-ion radiotherapy by 18F-FDG PET/CT texture analysis

Abstract The differentiation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and radiation pneumonitis (RP) is critically essential for selecting optimal clinical therapeutic strategies to manage post carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) in patients with NSCLC. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of 18F...
