ABSTRACT
Radiation therapy is part of a multimodality treatment approach to lung cancer. The radiologist must be aware of both the expected and the unexpected imaging findings of the post-radiation therapy patient, including the time course for development of post- radiation therapy pneumonitis and fibrosis. In this review, a brief discussion of radiation therapy techniques and indications is presented, followed by an image-heavy differential diagnostic approach. The review focuses on computed tomography imaging examples to help distinguish normal postradiation pneumonitis and fibrosis from alternative complications, such as infection, local recurrence, or radiation-induced malignancy.
