The Lyman-Kutcher-Burman model seeks to estimate the probability of complications in healthy tissue (NTCP) by delivering a probability curve according to the dose:
(ID 2715)
The estimation of the probability of complications in the Lyman Kutcher Burman Model (LKB) assuming that the probability of failure can be represented as a gauseana around dose
| $NTCP=\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^t e^{-u^2/2}du$ |
(ID 4699)
The probability of failure of an organ is estimated based on the deviation of the effective dose calculated for the healthy tissue
| $ t =\displaystyle\frac{ D_{eff} - TD_{50} }{ mTD_{50} }$ |
The
(ID 4846)
The dose is calculated by considering the fraction of the
Thus, the effective dose is:
| $D_{eff}=\left(\sum_iv_iD_i^{1/n}\right)^n$ |
