摘要：
The correlation between dose values from dose-volume histograms (DVHs) and dose values from dose-wall histograms (DWHs) of the rectum tissue of patient with uterine cervix cancer was determined. The minimum dose in 2 cm(3) in the high-dose region of the DVH is a good estimate of the dose in the rectum wall. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
