Fig. 3From: Exclusion of emphysematous lung from dose-volume estimates of risk improves prediction of radiation pneumonitisThe parameters with smaller AIC value or smaller BIC value are preferable. The parameters with bigger AUC value, IDI value, or NRI value are preferable. Compared with traditional dosimetric parameters (blue bar), counterpart measurements without LAV (orange bar) improved risk prediction of symptomatic RP. Data were adjusted for chemotherapy and interstitial lung disease. AUC = difference in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; V2/5/10/20/30 = volume of the lung receiving a dose ≥2/5/10/20/30 Gy, respectively; V2/5/10/20/30% = percentage of lung volume irradiated with ≥2/5/10/20/30 Gy, respectively; LAV2/5/10/20/30 = volume of the lung without low attenuation volume (LAV) receiving 2/5/10/20/30 Gy, respectively; TLV = total lung volume; MLD = mean lung dose; MED = mean emphysema dose; MLWED = mean lung without emphysema doseBack to article page
