This study aimed to develop a clinically interpretable machine-learning model to predict MHD using simple beam’s-eye-view (BEV)–based heart-projection metrics. A retrospective cohort of 127 patients treated with postoperative left breast or chest wall radiotherapy including supraclavicular nodal irradiation was analyzed. Heart projections in the lateral and vertical directions were measured from medial and lateral tangential fields, defined as medial tangential horizontal (MTH), lateral tangential horizontal (LTH), medial tangential vertical (MTV), and lateral tangential vertical (LTV). Outliers were removed using interquartile range criteria. A multivariable linear regression model was developed using 5-fold cross-validation to predict MHD. In addition, a logistic regression classifier was trained to categorize patients suitable for three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (MHD ≤ 4 Gy) versus inverse planning (MHD &gt; 4 Gy). Model performance was evaluated using R², root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), Pearson correlation coefficient, accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
