Acute exposure to high-dose gamma radiation due to radiological disasters or cancer
radiotherapy can result in radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), characterized by acute …

Abstract Radiation Induced Lung Injury (RILI) is one of the main limiting factors of thorax
irradiation, which can induce acute pneumonitis as well as pulmonary fibrosis, the latter …

The lung is one of several moderately radiosensitive organs. Radiation-induced lung injury
(RILI), including acute radiation pneumonitis and chronic radiation-induced pulmonary …

Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) encompasses any lung toxicity induced by radiation
therapy (RT) and manifests acutely as radiation pneumonitis and chronically as radiation …

Purpose: Radiation-induced pulmonary reactions have classically been viewed as distinct
phases-acute pneumonitis and, later, fibrosis-occurring at different times after irradiation and …

Ionizing radiation leads to a progressive injury in which a monocyte/macrophage-rich
pneumonitis is followed by a chronic progressive fibrosis. In the present study, the role of …

Concern regarding accidental overexposure to radiation has been raised after the
devastating Tohuku earthquake and tsunami which initiated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear …

Radiation-induced lung injury encompasses radiation-induced pneumonitis, inflammation of
the lung which may manifest as a dose-limiting acute or subacute toxicity, and radiation …

Pneumonitis and fibrosis are major lung complications of irradiating thoracic malignancies.
In the current study, we determined the effect of thoracic irradiation on the lungs of FVB/N …

The goal of radiation therapy is to reduce or eliminate tumor burden while sparing normal
tissues from long-term injury. Thoracic radiation presents a unique challenge because of the …
