Correlation Between Lung Density Changes Under Different Dose Gradients and Radiation Pneumonitis—Based on an Analysis of Computed Tomography Scans During Esophageal Cancer Radiotherapy

Correlation Between Lung Density Changes Under Different Dose Gradients and Radiation Pneumonitis—Based on an Analysis of Computed Tomography Scans During Esophageal Cancer Radiotherapy

PurposeTo assess the relationship between different doses of radiation and lung density changes and to determine the ability of this correlation to identify esophageal cancer (EC) patients who develop radiation pneumonitis (RP) and the occurrence time of RP.MethodsA planning computed tomography (CT)...
