Be careful when evaluating D
max
and
D
min
from DVH statistics
each ROI contains of a number of dose
voxels
the dose is constant within a voxel
(center point)
the relative ROI volume in each dose
voxel gives the dose value from the
center point
Dose voxels
Principle of calculation of Dose Volume Histograms
Trade off between
calculation time
and dose
accuracy
