Purpose Dysphagia is a common toxicity after head and neck (HN) radiotherapy that negatively affects quality of life. We explored the relationship between radiotherapy dose to normal HN structures and dysphagia one year after treatment using image-based datamining (IBDM), a voxel-based analysis technique. Materials and Methods We used data from 104 oropharyngeal cancer patients treated with definitive (Chemo)RT.
