Loss of lung function after chemo-radiotherapy for NSCLC measured by perfusion SPECT/CT: Correlation with radiation dose and clinical morbidity.

CONCLUSION: Perfusion lung function changes in a dose-dependent manner after RT. The severity of radiation-induced lung symptoms is significantly correlated with SPECT perfusion changes. Perfusion reduction early after RT is associated with a high risk of later development of symptomatic RP. PMID: 26203930 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
