Abstract：Radiation-induced brain injury is a common adverse reaction to radiotherapy for head and neck carcinoma, and may develop into radiation-induced brain necrosis in some patients. The disease has a substantial impact on the quality of life and 5-year survival in patients. Early diagnosis and prevention are important for the clinical treatment of radiation-induced brain injury. On the other hand, recurrence and pseudoprogression as complications of malignant tumor radiotherapy are also key problems for clinical diagnosis and identification of radiation-induced brain injury. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially functional MRI, provides an important approach for basic and clinical studies of radiation-induced brain injury.
