Abstract
Over 5 yr CT [computed tomography] of the thorax was performed on 53 patients with Hodgkin disease and mediastinal lymphadenopathy prior to the institution of therapeutic irradiation. Information obtained from CT prompted major alterations in the plan of therapy in 11 of 53 (21%) of the patients. These included changes of treatment portal size, the addition of localized boost therapy and a revision of diagnosis.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
