MRI- and CT-determined changes of dysphagia / aspiration-related structures (DARS) during and after radiotherapy.
<h4>Purpose</h4>The concept of dysphagia/aspiration-related structures (DARS) was developed against the background of severe late side effects of radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC). DARS can be delineated on CT scans, but with a better morphological discrimination on magnet...
