Evaluation of acute esophageal radiation-induced damage using magnetic resonance imaging: a feasibility study in mice
Abstract Background Thoracic and head and neck cancer radiation therapy (RT) can cause damage to nearby healthy organs such as the esophagus, causing acute radiation-induced esophageal damage (ARIED).A non-invasive method to detect and monitor ARIED can facilitate optimizing RT to avoid ARIED while improving local tumor control.Current clinical gui
