Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The CTDI values as calculated from the Ellis model depend only on the scheme of dose multifractionation, whereas CTDI values calculated from the LQ model depend also on the number of RT days (CTDI value decreases with the increase in RT time).

     
  2. 2.

    The CTDI values as calculated from the Ellis model exceed those calculated from the LQ model.
