Impact of nasopharyngeal irradiation and gadolinium administration on changes in T1 signal intensity of the dentate nucleus in nasopharyngeal malignancy patients without intracranial abnormalities
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Irradiation has been found to increase T1 signal intensity (SI) of the dentate nucleus (DN) by accelerating the gadolinium deposition in patients after multiple gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) administrations. Several reports have focused on this phenomenon in patients with brain tumors; however, data in patients receiving irradiation with no intracranial abnormalities (NIAs) are lacking.
PURPOSE: To explore how …
