Résumé
Radiotherapy has significantly improved cancer survival rates, but it also comes with certain unavoidable complications. Breast and thoracic irradiation, for instance, can unintentionally expose the heart to radiation, leading to damage at the cellular level within the myocardial structures. Detecting and monitoring radiation-induced heart disease early on is crucial, and several radionuclide imaging techniques have shown promise in this regard.
