Comparative Study
[The observation of edema in the substantia alba during postoperative brain irradiation. The role of computed tomographic studies].
The aim of our study was to determine on CT whether a relation exists between a radiation-induced brain edema, treated with diuretics and its corresponding Houndsfield Units (HU). ⋯ Measurements of HU can serve as a good indicator for spontaneous or diuretic induced changes of a white matter edema during radiation therapy.
