The results of quantitative evaluation of postradiation changes in lung cancer patients, which were obtained using a new procedure for analysis of dynamic X-ray computed tomography... by V. V. Ledenev, N. V. Nudnov, V. M. Sotnikov, D. V. Baryshnikova

“…The time course of a quantitative change in the median lung tissue density in the areas irradiated at different doses allows radiation-induced lung injury to be detected at X-ray CT until the visual signs of pneumonitis appear. A continuous, quantitative scale of changes will assist in more reliably and accurately studying post-radiation changes at a later time, and the time course of spaciotemporal changes will be able to compare and quantify lung injury when exploring new treatment methods and policies.…”
