Acute radiation-induced pulmonary damage can be a significant cause of morbidity in
radiation therapy of the thorax. A prospective, clinical study was conducted to obtain dose …

Purpose: The objective of this work was to assess the incidence of radiological changes
compatible with radiation-induced lung damage as determined by computed tomography …

Radiation-induced pulmonary injury is common following treatment for a variety of tumors in
and around the thorax. While symptomatic injury is unusual, subclinical injury identified by …

In a prospective study of acute radiation-induced pulmonary changes. CT scans of 54
patients were performed before and at preselected times during the 6 months following …

BACKGROUND Total body irradiation (TBI) is commonly used with autologous bone marrow
transplantation (BMT) for treatment of hematologic malignancies. Pulmonary complications …

Purpose: To quantify the response of human lung to a course of fractionated radiotherapy
based on a literature review of published clinical data. Materials and methods: Quantitative …

Many factors like fractionation, overall treatment time, and patient specific aspects are
important when studying and quantifying the effects of partial lung irradiation. The local …

The comparison of different dose-time-fractionation schedules requires the use of an
isoeffect formula. In recent years, the NSD isoeffect formula has been heavily critized. In this …

Classical radiation pneumonitis has been described after single dose whole lung irradiation
in experimental animals where above a threshold dose of irradiation, there is a sigmoid …

The three-dimensional dose, volume, and outcome data for lung are reviewed in detail. The
rate of symptomatic pneumonitis is related to many dosimetric parameters, and there are no …
