Changes in cardiac volume determined with repeated enhanced 4DCT during chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer

Abstract Background Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is considered curative intent treatment for patients with non-operative esophageal cancer. Radiation-induced heart damage receives much attention. We performed repeated four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) to detect changes in cardiac volume du...
