Résumé
In this study, we aimed to establish a method for predicting the probability of each acute radiation dermatitis (ARD) grade during the head and neck Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) radiotherapy planning phase based on Bayesian probability. The skin dose volume >50 Gy (V The empirical distribution for each graded patient group demonstrated a normal distribution. The method predicted ARD grades with 92.4 % accuracy and provided a V The Bayesian probability-based ARD prediction method could predict the ARD grade at the treatment planning stage using limited patient diagnostic data that demonstrated a normal distribution. If the probability of an ARD grade is high, skin care can be initiated in advance. Furthermore, the V
