Abstract
Commonly, the quality of treatment plans is judged by a dose-volume histogram (DVH) in regards to satisfying a series of dose-volume constraints. This paper presents a novel technique for mapping normal tissue complication probabilities (NTCP) onto regions of dose-volume space with statistical considerations of risk. Mapping is done for DVHs specific to one treatment technique for one disease site. In this study, the method is illustrated for...
