As post-therapy chest imaging is extremely common, it is imperative for radiologists in training to understand the post-surgical and post-radiation changes. Knowledge of the different types of surgeries as well as different manifestations of post radiation changes in the acute, transient and chronic stages, as well as its' differential diagnosis is also very important. Our exhibit will highlight the concept of post-therapy changes in the chest-both post-surgical and post-radiation. 

1. Review various surgical options including- wedge resection, lobectomy, pneumonectomy, thoroacoplasty, sleeve resection etc. 2. Review various radiation portals and beam arrangements for the treatment of thoracic malignancies. 3. Review the different manifestations of radiation induced lung disease in the acute, transient and chronic phases. 4. Differential diagnosis for post radiation changes of the chest.
