Therapy operating characteristic (TOC) curves and their application to the evaluation of segmentation algorithms
Abstract
This paper presents a general framework for assessing imaging systems and image-analysis methods on the basis of therapeutic rather than diagnostic efficacy. By analogy to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, it utilizes the Therapy Operating Characteristic or TOC curve, which is a plot of the probability of tumor control vs. the probability of normal-tissue complications as the overall level of a radiotherapy treatment beam is …
