Abstract

Since its approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the rectal hydrogel spacer system SpaceOAR (SpaceOAR™ and Space-OAR Vue™, Boston Scientific Corporation, Marlborough, Massachusetts, United States) has become widely adopted in radiation therapy protocols for prostate cancer patients. The biodegradable hydrogel creates a temporary space between the prostate and rectum, thereby effectively reducing the radiation exposure to the anterior rectal wall. While the system is generally safe, potential complications can occur and should be recognized by radiologists. This pictorial review aims to familiarize radiologists with imaging features of SpaceOAR-related complications to ensure accurate diagnosis and reporting.

SpaceOAR水凝胶在前列腺癌放疗中的并发症：图片回顾。

自获得美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）批准以来，直肠水凝胶间隔系统SpaceOAR （SpaceOAR™和Space-OAR Vue™，Boston Scientific Corporation, Marlborough, Massachusetts, United States）已被广泛应用于前列腺癌患者的放射治疗方案。生物可降解的水凝胶在前列腺和直肠之间创造了一个暂时的空间，从而有效地减少了直肠前壁的辐射暴露。虽然该系统通常是安全的，但可能发生潜在的并发症，应由放射科医生识别。这篇图片综述旨在使放射科医生熟悉spacear相关并发症的影像学特征，以确保准确的诊断和报告。
