Abstract

The article deals with the ultrasound diagnostics of the post radiation lung damage in 44 patients aged 32–73 years who received radiation therapy in the form of distance radiation therapy (DRT) for breast cancer. In all patients total focal dose (TFD) of radiation was 50 Gy with classical fractionation. The main types of subpleural post radiation injury, their intensity and prevalence were determined. The ultrasound findings were compared with CT images of patients six months after the start of DRT.
