title: [Research advances in medical imaging for radiation-induced liver injury].
abstract: The applications of three dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3-DCRT)in the abdomen has been associated with the increased incidence of radiation-induced liver injury(RILI). Timely and appropriate evaluation of RILI is particularly important for the design and modification of clinical management of tumors. This article reviews the pathological and serological features of RILI, focusing on in the application of medical imaging.
