Background: Hypothyroidism is a common sequela after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has gained prominence in thyroid imaging, leveraging its non-ionizing radiation, high spatial resolution, multiparameter and multidirectional imaging. Few previous studies have investigated the evaluation of radiation-induced thyroid injury by MRI.

Despite the evident benefits of spectral computed tomography (CT) in delivering qualitative imaging superior to that of conventional CT in adults, its application in pediatric diagnostic imaging is still relatively limited due to various reasons, including design limitations and radiation dose considerations. The use of specialized K-edge filters, in conjunction with other spectral technologies, has been demonstrated to improve spectral quantification accuracy. X-ray flux limitations generally pose challenges in these concepts when applied to adults.

Purpose In linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) utilizing a multileaf collimator (MLC) for brain metastases (BMs), a volumetric-modulated arc (VMA) technique is indispensable for generating a suitable dose distribution with efficient planning and delivery. However, the optimal calculation grid spacing (GS) and statistical uncertainty (SU) of the Monte Carlo algorithm for VMA optimization have yet to be determined. This planning study aimed to examine the impacts of GS and GU settings on VMA-based SRS planning and to find the optimal combination for templating.

Background: The impact of radiation-related lymphocyte recovery on prognosis in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESCC) remains unclear.

Methods: Patients with stage II-IVa ESCC who received definitive RT were screened. Collect absolute lymphocyte counts (ALCs) before, during, and after RT.
