Official Title: PET fUnCtionaL Imaging to Evaluate Cardiac Radiation Damage (EUCLID)
Brief Summary:
This clinical trial examines positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in evaluating cardiac radiation damage in patients with lung cancer.As part of the treatment for lung cancer, patients will undergo radiation therapy.Sometimes, during this treatment, the heart is also subjected to some radiation which could affect its function, either increasing or decreasing the function.It is not known the consequences of this change nor is it known if doctors can detect the changes associated with the…
