Recent advances in LGE-MRI technology allow us to
visualize and quantify the extent of myocardial tissue
injury after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for
treatment of cancer. We evaluated the utility of 3D late
gadolinium enhanced MRI to identify atrial injury
secondary to EBRT and the correlation between extent of
tissue damage and dose of EBRT administered. Cardiac MRI
identifies subclinical injury months after EBRT and also
shows a dose-dependent pattern of injury. Imaging
myocardial injury resulting from radiation using MRI may
be a useful modality to follow cardiac toxicity from
EBRT and identify individuals who are more susceptible
to CV radiation damage.
