Abstract:
Radiotherapy(RT) is one of the important treatments for tumors，which increases the survival rate of patients.However，during chest radiation therapy，the heart is inevitably affected，causing radiation-induced heart disease(RIHD).RIHD can involve any structure of the heart and has become one of the major complications that threaten the survival of cancer patients.In recent years，RIHD has received more and more clinical attention.Therefore，early detection of RIHD has important clinical and practical value for cancer patients，especially young cancer patients.At present，there is no unified and clear early diagnostic criteria for RIHD，and imaging tests can detect RIHD early and accurately.Different imaging studies have different meanings in the detection of RIHD.This article gives a brief review of early RIHD image detection.
