Voxel-based analysis unveils regional dose differences associated with radiation-induced morbidity in head and neck cancer patients

Abstract The risk of radiation-induced toxicity in patients treated for head and neck (HN) cancer with radiation therapy (RT) is traditionally estimated by condensing the 3D dose distribution into a monodimensional cumulative dose-volume histogram which disregards information on dose localization.
