A phenomenological method to estimate the NTCP values for both uniform and nonuniform irradiation of many critical tissues is provided by the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) model [Lyman 1985, Kutcher and Burman 1989, Mohan et al 1992, Deasy 2000, Li et al. 2003, and Luxton et al. 2008], which can be described by three equations:  \begin{align}  \label{ntcp} %\label{ntcp}  \text{NTCP} &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{t} e e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}} dx  \\ t &= \frac{D_{eff}-TD_{50}}{mTD_{50}} \\  D_{eff} &= \left( \sum_{i} v_i D_i^{\frac{1}{n}} \right)^n  \end{align}
