3 FIGURE 2 Axial CT image of the region where the bronchoesophageal fistula developed (yellow contour), with the radiation isodose lines overlayed. The entire circumference of the left mainstem bronchus and esophagus are encompassed by the 44 Gy isodose line (blue contour). Portions of both structures received the full prescription dose (64 Gy) (red contour). The subcarinal lymphadenopathy is just medial to the esophagus.
