The potential of thermal imaging as an early predictive biomarker of radiation dermatitis during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer: a prospective study
Thermal images acquired from patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck cancer can be used as an early predictor of grade ≥ 2 RD and may aid in decision support for the management of acute skin toxicity from radiotherapy. However, our results should be interpreted with caution, given the limitations of this study.
