Abstract
Radiation-induced injuries (RIIs) are significant complications of radiation therapy used in cancer treatments and affect organs in a systemic fashion such as the heart, lungs, liver, and bone marrow. Such ionizing radiation leads to inflammation, fibrosis, and/or irreparable DNA damage, each of which can significantly impact patient's quality of life, underscoring the need for advanced diagnostic and imaging techniques. A novel combination of PET/Computed Tomography (CT) with Quantitative MR Imaging has emerged as a crucial tool for early diagnosis and timely evaluation of RIIs. This review focuses on the important role of quantitative PET-CT-MR imaging in diagnosing and monitoring RIIs.
