Abstract:
Dose-volume histograms are useful tools to summarize the information on the dose profiles resulting within a target volume. However, the spatial relationships of the hot and the cold spots are blunted in the dose-volume histograms. This study tries to circumvent this problem using multisectional dose-volume histograms and highlight the utility of these in the optimization of a radiation therapy plan.
