Evaluating Observer Reliability and Diagnostic Accuracy of CT-LEFAT Criteria for Post-Treatment Head and Neck Lymphedema: A Prospective Blinded Comparative Analysis of Oncologist Human Inter-Rater Performance

2024-09-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Radiation-associated lymphedema and fibrosis (LEF) is a significant toxicity following radiation therapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. Recently, the CT Lymphedema and Fibrosis Assessment Tool (CT-LEFAT) was developed to standardize LEF diagnosis through fat stranding visualized on CT. This study aims to evaluate the inter-observer reliability and diagnostic accuracy of the CT-LE...
