Abstract:
Radiation?induced brain injury is a common adverse reaction to radiotherapy for head and neck carcinoma, and may develop into radiation?induced brain necrosis in some patients. The disease has a substantial impact on the quality of life and 5?year survival in patients. Early diagnosis and prevention are important for the clinical treatment of radiation?induced brain injury. On the other hand, recurrence and pseudoprogression as complications of malignant tumor radiotherapy are also key problems for clinical diagnosis and identification of radiation?induced brain injury. Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) , especially functional MRI, provides an important approach for basic and clinical studies of radiation?induced brain injury.
