A novel knowledge-based prediction model for estimating an initial equivalent uniform dose in semi-auto-planning for cervical cancer

Abstract Background We developed a novel concept, equivalent uniform length (EUL), to describe the relationship between the generalized equivalent uniform dose (EUD) and the geometric anatomy around a tumor target. By correlating EUL with EUD, we established two EUD–EUL knowledge-based (EEKB) predic...
