Figure 5. Comparison between the actuarial incidence of radiation-related valvular defects (RVD) in the population and the predicted incidence by each NTCP model.
a) heart LKB, b) heart RS, c) lung LKB, d) lung RS, e) three-variable logistic model. Patients were binned according to the considered NTCP model with equal number of patients in each bin. Abbreviation- LKB: Lyman-Kutcher-Burman, RS: Relative Seriality, NTCP: Normal Tissue Complication Probability.
