Table 5. Classification of HRCT scans after radiotherapy in the overall study population (N = 37), as well as in patients who underwent supraclavicular lymph node irradiation and those who did not, according to the scoring system by Schratter-Sehn et al. 6 ), a .

HRCT scan score Overall SCLN irradiation
No (n = 17) Yes (n = 20)
0 5 (13.5%) 3 (17.7%) 2 (10%)
1 17 (45.9%) 9 (52.9%) 8 (40%)
2 8 (21.6%) 3 (17.6%) 5 (25%)
3 5 (13.5%) 2 (11.8%) 3 (15%)
4 0 (0.0%) 0 (0.0%) 0 (0.0%)
5 2 (5.4%) 0 (0.0%) 2 (10%)

SCLN: supraclavicular lymph node. aScore: 0 = no changes; 1 = septal thickening, reticular subpleural opacities; 2 = subpleural thickening > 2 cm parallel to the chest wall; 3 = parenchymal bands ≥ 2.5 cm from the lung toward the pleural surface; 4 = honeycombing aspect, cystic areas (> 1 cm diameter), thickened walls; 5 = ground glass opacities, acute radiological changes.
