Comparative analysis of mathematical models for assessing damage to critical organs during radiation therapy

We present here the results of calculating the probability of complications in patients’ normal tissues using four mathematical models with the aim of assessing damage to critical organs during radiation therapy. The Lyman-Kutcher-Burman and Niemierko models show good agreement and provide equivalen...

Description
Summary:We present here the results of calculating the probability of complications in patients’ normal tissues using four mathematical models with the aim of assessing damage to critical organs during radiation therapy. The Lyman-Kutcher-Burman and Niemierko models show good agreement and provide equivalent results across the most practical range of probabilities of radiation complications.
