Describe CyberKnife Radiosurgery Therapy in lung cancer. Review and illustrate radiologic findings post-radiosurgery on High Resolution CT

CyberKnife radiosurgery treatments offer a safe and non-invasive approach in poor surgical candidates. High Resolution CT is frequently performed to monitor tumoral response. In some patients, the tumour tends to shrink gradually over a period of weeks to months with desmoplastic reaction around the irradiated field. High Resolution CT is also used to assess complications post-radiosurgery therapy. Early and late toxicity from radiosurgery include radiation pneumonitis, pneumothorax, radiation fibrosis, bronchiectasis. We plan to discuss these complications with illustrative examples. Understanding the imaging features post radiosurgery is essential for the radiologist. Distinction between usual post-treatment changes, local recurrence and tumour necrosis is sometime challenging.
