Pelvic bone radionecrosis as a late consequence of short-distance radiation therapy
The paper deals with the estimation of the capabilities and role of different radiation techniques in the detection of late postradiation therapy local tissue responses that are evident as radionecrosis. To specify the nature of changes, it is necessary to take into account clinicoanarnnestic data, results of laboratory and instrumental studies (standard X-ray study, multislice com­puted tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) at any examination stage. A set of the studies can provide the means of significantly analyzing the bone structures and soft tissues and the degree of injury and identifying complications.
