Take home messages:

• DVHs are useful to help you plan the patient treatment (Plan optimization and comparison of different plans)

• DVHs are useful to evaluate your prescription or to prescribe (dose to a volume)

• Volume-Dose (V, D V

or D,V

D ) parameters and “Quality” parameters

can be derived from DVHs

• Attention: Aimed versus planned prescription (e.g. D 90 )

• Predictive value of such (quality) parameters still has to be proven for general use !
