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.
The values for δ AUC and δ V60 are higher for the BED-DVH's of the rectum and bladder than for the counterpart C-DVH's.
The statistical comparison between the matched-pair δ V60 's obtained between C-DVH's and BED-DVH's was performed using the student's t-test.
This table demonstrates a p-value of 0.021 for the rectal toxicity comparison, and a p-value of 0.021 for the bladder toxicity comparison, suggesting that [when using V60 as the measure of merit] the BED-DVH's were significantly better-correlated (than the corresponding C-DVH's) with rectal toxicity and with bladder toxicity.
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.
