  • Chapter
Imaging of Complications and Toxicity following Tumor Therapy

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 778 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter discusses the imaging of the complications and toxicity associated with treatment of the male genitourinary tract with particular focus on the imaging features which should alert the radiologist to the unwanted consequences of treatments, as well as imaging characteristics that may mimic or obscure any underlying disease.
