Purpose: To better understanding the dose and time dependence of radiation therapy (RT)-
induced regional lung dysfunction as assessed by changes in regional lung perfusion …

Purpose: To better understand the dose dependence of radiation therapy (RT)-induced
changes in regional lung perfusion and tissue density, using a manual method to reduce …

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether preradiation (pre‐RT) single
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) lung perfusion scans can be used to …

PURPOSE: To assess the time and regional dependence of radiation therapy (RT)-induced
reductions in regional lung perfusion 0.1–12 years post-RT, as measured by single photon …

Purpose: To assess the time-dependence of radiation therapy (RT)-induced reductions in
regional lung perfusion, as measured by single photon emission computed tomography …

Purpose: To assess the impact of patient-specific factors on radiation (RT)-induced
reductions in regional lung perfusion. Methods: Fifty patients (32 lung carcinoma, 7 …

Purpose: During thoracic irradiation (XRT), treatment fields are usually designed to minimize
the volume of nontmnor-containing lung included. Generally, functional heterogeneities …

Purpose: To determine whether the sum of radiotherapy (RT)-induced reductions in regional
lung perfusion is quantitatively related to changes in global lung function as assessed by …

Purpose: To assess the relationship between radiation (RT) induced pulmonary symptoms
and subclinical changes in pulmonary functions tests (PFT) and radiographs. Materials and …
