ABSTRACT

Lung cancer with low average iodine density measured via contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) using dual-energy CT technology has shown a reduced local control rate after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The current study therefore investigated the relationship between low iodine density tumor area and its ratio and local recurrence after SBRT. Dual-energy CT was performed on the day before SBRT initiation, with a low iodine density tumor area being defined as that with an iodine density of <1.81 mg cm-3. The low iodine density tumor area, the ratio between the low iodine density tumor area and the entire tumor, and the local recurrence rate were then determined. No correlation was observed between the low iodine density tumor area and the local recurrence rate. However, tumors with a large low iodine density tumor area ratio showed an increased local recurrence rate, with the prognostic accuracy almost similar to that in previous studies using average iodine densities. Our results therefore suggest that the low iodine density tumor area ratio was a useful prognostic index after SBRT, with an accuracy comparable with that of the average iodine density.
