Lyman-Kutcher-Burman Model (NTCP)
Image
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:

Probability of Complications with LKB Model
Equation
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

Factor $t$ of the LKB Model
Equation
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} }$ |

Effective Dose in the LKB Model
Equation
The dose is calculated by considering the fraction of the
Thus, the effective dose is:
$D_{eff}=\left(\sum_iv_iD_i^{1/n}\right)^n$ |
