Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Improvement of short- and long-term prognosis after radiation therapy (RT) has been the main focus of radiation oncologists over the last two decades. Most patients with liver cancer have underlying liver disease, and a pre-RT hepatic functional reserve evaluation is important to avoid post-RT hepatic failure and death. Better selection of patients based on hepatic functional reserve can be the most important contributing factor to the success of RT for liver cancer. However, liver function involves a spectrum of metabolic functions, so there is no single test that can accurately and practically measure all functions at the same time. This chapter introduces what radiation oncologists need to know in order to evaluate hepatic functional reserves and several scoring systems to evaluate them.
