Compounding this knowledge gap, the assessment of RT response using traditional size-based criteria via computed tomography (CT) imaging correlates poorly with outcomes. We hypothesized that quantitative measures of enhancement would more accurately predict clinical outcomes than size-based assessment alone and developed a model to optimize RT.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Pre-RT and post-RT CT scans of 154 patients with iCCA were analyzed retrospectively for measurements of tumor dimensions (for RECIST) and viable tumor volume using quantitative European Association for Study of Liver (qEASL) measurements. Binary classification and survival analyses were performed to evaluate the ability of qEASL to predict treatment outcomes, and mathematical modeling was performed to identify the mechanistic determinants of treatment outcomes and to predict optimal RT protocols.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Multivariable analysis accounting for traditional prognostic covariates revealed that percentage change in viable volume following RT was significantly associated with OS, outperforming stratification by RECIST. Binary classification identified \u226533% decrease in viable volume to optimally correspond to response to RT. The model-derived, patient-specific tumor enhancement growth rate emerged as the dominant mechanistic determinant of treatment outcome and yielded high accuracy of patient stratification (80.5%), strongly correlating with the qEASL-based classifier.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Following RT for iCCA, changes in viable volume outperformed radiographic size-based assessment using RECIST for OS prediction.
