Figure 1 A sketch of two-compartment model.
Ktrans: Transport rate of CA from blood plasma to EES; kep: Transport rate of CA from EES to blood plasma; υe: Volume fraction of EES. The three quantities are related by kep = Ktrans/υe. EES: Extravascular-extracellular space.

Figure 2 A hierarchical relationship diagram of the introduced pharmacokinetic models.
DP: Distributed-parameter; FXR: Fast-exchange regime.
Figure 3 Radiation treatment planning.
A: A computed tomography simulation image for a selected patient breast stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) treatment plan; B: 3D planned beams view for the selected patient’s SBRT plan; C: Calculated conformal dose distribution of the selected patient’s SBRT plan.
Figure 4 Conventional radiation treatment workflow.
The proposed workflow (A) with treatment assessment component (B). Radiation treatment assessment can be used in plan optimization based on understanding towards biological response.
