- Abstract
Objective: radiodermatitis or radiodermatitis is an inflammatory cell reaction triggered by radiotherapy, which is one of the alternatives for the treatment of various types of cancers. The objective of this work was to analyze the main diagnostic methods of radiodermatitis with the use of technological tools, regarding the equipment used, the form of clinical analysis, parameters developed and the final product. Materials and methods: a systematic review with an exploratory nature and a qualitative approach was performed. The search for studies in international journals was carried out in July 2019, in the MEDLINE and SCOPUS databases. The descriptors "radiodermatitis" and "acute radiation dermatitis" were used for the search. The inclusion criteria were: article, written in English, published in the last ten years (01/2009 to 07/2019), and content related to the diagnosis of radiodermatitis caused by radiotherapy of exclusive application. Results: This review found studies on the following technological tools: cytological assessment, blood flow assessment, machine learning, photographic scale, thermal image, irradiation dose, and spectrophotometry. The use of photographic and thermal images has been consolidated as an important diagnostic tool in the medical field. These technological tools have been shown to be applicable to the diagnosis of radiodermatitis, with its effect enhanced by digital image processing and artificial intelligence algorithms. Conclusions: The analysis described here demonstrates the need for technological development to outline and standardize the radiodermatitis diagnostic process, which would allow early treatment and maintenance of the individual's engagement in antineoplastic therapy.
