Table 2 Predicted RNTCP values for cardiac structures for the MB patient using combinations of NTCP model parameters (min: D 50  = 40 Gy, n = 1, m = 0.05; max: D 50  = 80 Gy, n = 0.2, m = 0.5), the myocardium (min: D 50  = 40 Gy, γ = 1.5, s = 0.5; max: D 50  = 80 Gy, γ = 0.8, s = 1), and the whole heart (min: D 50  = 40 Gy, γ = 1.5, s = 0.5; max: D 50  = 80 Gy, γ = 0.8, s = 1)
