Detection of irreversible changes in susceptibility-weighted images after whole-brain irradiation of children
2013
Introduction
Whole-brain irradiation is part of the therapy protocol for patients with medulloblastomas. Side effects and complications of radiation can be detected by follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Susceptibility-weighted images (SWI) can detect even very small amounts of residual blood that cannot be shown with conventional MRI. The purpose of this study was to determine when and where SWI lesions appear after whole-brain irradiation.
