Distinctive patterns of early and late benign fibrosis are commonly observed after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for lung malignancies. These changes on computed tomography scans need to be distinguished from so-called high-risk radiological features, which can be associated with a higher risk for tumor recurrence. This pictorial report illustrates the different radiological changes seen after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy delivered by using volumetric modulated radiotherapy, a technique that is being increasingly used in clinical care.
在立体定向消融放疗治疗肺部恶性肿瘤后，常可观察到早期和晚期良性纤维化的独特模式。这些 CT 扫描上的变化需要与所谓的高风险影像学特征区分开来，后者可能与肿瘤复发的风险增加相关。本影像学报告说明了使用容积调强放疗进行立体定向消融放疗后出现的不同放射学变化，该技术在临床护理中越来越多地被应用。
