"Once the inflammation has receded, usually between 9 to 15 months after the completion date, FDG-PET is useful in differentiating radiation fibrosis from recurrent or radiation-induced malignancy, as the former will not be metabolically active 1."
"bear in mind that post-radiation fibrotic changes usually occur at around 9 months but can be seen up to 2 years after treatment completion 2"
"It should be noted that with highly conformal radiation therapy (e.g. 3D-CRT, IMRT, SBRT, and proton therapy), the shape of the irradiated field will not have straight edges or conform to the traditional conventional radiation therapy portals. As such it may be less artificial in shape and more tightly restricted to the tumour (cf. straight lines traditionally seen in conventional radiation therapy portals) 2,6:"
