Radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary function with lung dose–volume constraints in breast cancer irradiation
PURPOSE We studied symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) and changes in pulmonary function tests (PFTs) after loco-regional radiotherapy (LRRT) with V20 lung constraints in breast cancer (BC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-four women underwent PFTs before and 5 months after 3D planned LRRT for BC. The incidentally irradiated ipsilateral lung V20 was minimised to <30%. Patients were monitored fo...
متن کاملExclusion of emphysematous lung from dose-volume estimates of risk improves prediction of radiation pneumonitis
BACKGROUND The risk factors for radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are unclear. Mean lung dose (MLD) and percentage of irradiated lung volume are common predictors of RP, but the most accurate dosimetric parameter has not been established. We hypothesized that the total lung volume irradiated without emphysema would influence the onset of RP...
متن کاملEstimating radiation dose from building materials
Background: Natural radioactivity in materials under certain conditions can reach the hazardous radiological levels. So, it becomes necessary to study the natural radioactivity in different materials to assess the dose for the population in order to know the health risks and to have a baseline for future changes in the environmental radioactivity due to human activities. Materials and ...
متن کاملForeword: Radiology Select Volume 5—Radiation Dose and Dose Reduction
When we chose Radiation Dose and Dose Reduction as the topic for the fifth volume in the Radiology Select series, we were very excited about offering a compilation of articles on a theme of utmost importance to all radiologists and health care providers. The concept of the right radiation dose for the right study, at the right time, is central to optimizing care for those patients who require i...
