The objective of this article is to describe the imaging appearances of radiation injury to normal tissues in the abdomen that may be seen during imaging surveillance of oncology patients.
Therapeutic radiation is used to treat various malignant conditions in the abdomen. Radiation damages normal surrounding tissues as well as the intended tumor. Radiation changes vary based on the target organ and the time from completion of therapy. Familiarity with the spectrum of changes that may be seen on follow-up imaging studies should help in the differentiation of radiation injury from other causes such as recurrent malignancy.
本文的目的是描述在肿瘤患者影像监测期间可能见到的腹部正常组织辐射损伤的影像学表现。
治疗性辐射用于治疗腹部的各种恶性疾病。辐射会损害周围正常组织以及预期的肿瘤。辐射变化因靶器官和治疗结束后的时间而异。熟悉随访影像研究中可能出现的一系列变化，应有助于将辐射损伤与其他原因（如肿瘤复发）区分开来。
