Figure 11. Physical doses and BEDs of GTV + 2 mm DeIIV in 1-6 fraction(s) for GTV + 2 mm DeIIV <72%.

Figure 11

The scatter plots show the physical doses (A) and the BED10s (B) of the GTV + 2 mm DeIIV in 1 fraction and 3-6 fractions as a function of GTV + 2 mm DeIIV relative to the prescribed dose (PD) in cases with the GTV + 2 mm DeIIV of <72%.

GTV: gross tumor volume; GTV + 2 mm: GTV evenly expanded by 2 mm; fr: fraction(s); DeIIV: a minimum dose to cover an irradiated isodose volume equivalent to a target volume; BED10: biologically effective dose based on the linear-quadratic formula with an alpha/beta ratio of 10.
