First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether PET/CT scans can detect heart damage caused by radiation therapy in people with lung or esophageal cancer.

The goal is to see if the scans can pick up changes in the heart, which may help doctors monitor and reduce heart problems in the future.
