Image-based quantification of radiation-induced lung damage KU Leuven
The results presented in this thesis explored the associations of a quantitative lung damage endpoint (∆HU) with radiation dosimetry (sigmoidal dependence), clinical variables, regional location and a clinical dyspnea (change) endpoint. Furthermore, we showed the feasibility of a selective lung damage avoidance workflow based on the planning CT densities and made important recommendations to limit lung damage and dyspnea. Radiation dose to ...
