Analysis of Computed Tomography Derived Maps for Determining Changes of the Liver Volume After Exposure to Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat cancers involving the liver or nearby organs. While effective, radiation exposure can affect healthy liver tissue and may lead to changes in liver size and function. Monitoring these changes is important to improve treatment planning and reduce the risk of liver-related complications. This study aims to evaluate changes in liver volume using computed tomography (CT) imaging before and after radiotherapy. By analyzing CT-derived liver maps, the study seeks to better understand how the liver responds to radiation treatment over time. The study will include patients who undergo radiotherapy and have CT imaging performed as part of their routine clinical care. No additional procedures or treatments will be required for participation. The findings of this study may help improve future radiotherapy planning and patient monitoring by providing better information on liver volume changes following radiation exposure.
