After construction of the C-DVH's and BED-DVH's, it was clear that the general shape of the two were slightly different, as would be expected by the non-linear transformation in Equation (1) above.
, those treated before 1999), it was felt that integral dose to the entire rectum and entire bladder would be appropriate as one measure for clinical comparison of the use of BED-DVH's versus C-DVH's.
As Table 3displays, the δ AUC analysis demonstrates a p-value of 0.036 for the rectal toxicity comparison, and a p-value of 0.065 for the bladder toxicity comparison, suggesting that [when using AUC as the measure of merit] the BED-DVH's were significantly better-correlated (than the corresponding C-DVH's) with rectal toxicity, and marginally better-correlated with bladder toxicity.
In this figure, the average C-DVH of the rectum was computed for the 6 patients in the grade 3 group as well as the 6 patients in the grade 0 group.
The authors are aware of the recent efforts regarding advanced modeling concepts for evaluating the relationship between physical irradiation and biological damage on normal structures - in particular, BED provides a measure of biological effect at a point at which it is calculated - measuring the absolute biological effect over a volume having a non-uniform dose distribution formally requires the computation of the equivalent uniform dose (EUD) [ 23 ] . However, this caveat does not apply directly to the current task, because the goal of the current investigation is to use the DVH (constructed using either conventional dose or BED) as a relative measure of biological response, not as an absolute measure, and in this context constructing a DVH from BED computations and averaging the DVH's (both C-DVH's and BED-DVH's) over a patient population was felt to be an appropriate methodology.
