Fig. 4 Calibration plot: Predicted probability versus actual probability of surviving 5 years in deciles (dots) and overall trend (line). A reference line is added to the plot indicating perfect calibration (dashed line). European Journal of Radiology 2018 98, 143-149DOI: (10.1016/j.ejrad.2017.11.016) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
