How can you use “bed-dvh” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The values for δ AUC and δ V60 are higher for the BED-DVH's of the rectum and bladder than for the counterpart C-DVH's.
However, because the integral dose/AUC analysis did reach significance for the rectum, and because the V60 analysis did reach statistical significance for both the bladder and rectum, the results of the current investigation represent initial success with the application of the BED-DVH concept.
Because the AUC and V60 are dosimetric endpoints used routinely for the evaluation of radiation treatment plans, this analysis suggests that BED-DVH's for the rectum and bladder correlate better with late toxicity than C-DVH's and should be considered when attempting to minimize late GI and GU toxicity after radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
Because this analysis was performed with two independent measures of merit of the DVH's - the AUC and the V60, the early results reported herein appear promising for the use of BED-DVH's.
As expected, the DVH's (both C-DVH's and BED-DVH's) were predictive of rectal and urinary toxicity - that is, those that developed late GI or GU toxicity had DVH's that demonstrated more integral dose to the rectum or bladder than those patients who did not develop such toxicity.
