Title: Flashes of light-radiation therapy to the brain.
Authors: Blumenthal, Deborah T.1, Corn, Benjamin W.2, Shtraus, Natan2
Source: Radiotherapy & Oncology. Aug2015, Vol. 116 Issue 2, p331-333. 3p.
Subjects: Particle beams, Brain, Radiotherapy, Blue light, Colored light
Abstract: We present a series of three patients who received therapeutic external beam radiation to the brain and experienced a phenomenon of the sensation of flashes of bright or blue light, simultaneous with radiation delivery. We relate this benign phenomenon to low-dose exposure to the eye fields and postulate that the occurrence is underreported in this treated population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
