Normal tissue complication probability estimations for liver tumor patients estimated for each patient using the LKB parameters from six different models. (a) Burman model for the endpoint of liver failure, (b) Dawson model for the endpoint of radiation-induced liver injury (RILI) grade > 3, (c) El Naqa model for changes in ALBI and CP scores, (d) El Naqa model for enzymatic changes, (e) Pursley model for changes in CP score, (f) Pursley model for changes in ALBI score. Single points correspond to the patient-specific median NTCP values. Orange and blue bars correspond to the predictions for 12C and 11C plans, respectively. Stars represent the result of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test (P = 0.002 for a–d and F, P = 0.0039 for e).
