Subcutaneous fibrosis is intensified for neutron therapy compared with photon irradiation. It can be a dose limiting factor. Quantification of subcutaneous fibrosis is possible using CT scans and measuring the tissue density in Hounsfield units. With this technique the time dependent development of fibrosis after neutron irradiation was determined in ten patients, who had been treated for recurrent recto-sigmoidal tumors.
与光子照射相比,中子治疗会加剧皮下纤维化。它可能成为剂量限制因素。利用CT扫描并以亨氏单位测量组织密度,可对皮下纤维化进行量化。通过该技术,对10例接受复发性直肠乙状结肠肿瘤治疗的患者在中子照射后纤维化的时间依赖性发展情况进行了测定。
