Balancing Cure and Long-term Adverse Effects: Tailoring Treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients

Abstract

Emilio Nogales

Computed tomography (CT) scan is a diagnostic imaging test that uses X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed images of various body parts. It is a commonly used medical tool that helps physicians diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. During a CT scan, a patient lies on a table that slides into a large, doughnut-shaped machine. The machine takes multiple X-ray images from different angles around the body, which are then processed by a computer to create cross-sectional images, or slices, of the body part being examined.
