title: CT of muscle necrosis following radiation therapy in a patient with head and neck malignancy.
abstract: Radiation-induced changes within skeletal muscle may be seen on follow-up CT or MR scans in patients who have undergone postoperative radiation therapy for head and neck tumors. Because they may mimic recurrent disease, these changes should be borne in mind.
