Gadolinium-DTPA enhancement of lung radiation fibrosis.

W C Werthmuller1, M L Schiebler, R A Whaley, M A Mauro, W H McCartney.   

Abstract

Gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) enhancement of radiation-induced apical pulmonary fibrosis was observed in two patients previously treated for breast cancer. In one case the fibrosis was biopsied twice, with no change in its CT appearance over 3 years. Gadolinium-DTPA may enhance benign apical fibrosis after radiation therapy and should not, in and of itself, be used as evidence of recurrent malignancy.
