Dose-Volume-Parameters for Target (V

100

, D

, ...)

D

100

: the dose that covers 100% of the target volume, what is equivalent the

MTD proposed by ICRU report 58 (ICRU 1998); for the case we consider

CTV.

D

98

:

the dose that covers 98% of the target volume.

D

90

:

the dose that covers 90% of the target volume.

V

100

: the percentage of the target volume that receives at least the

prescribed dose, which is set to 100%.

V
