A method for a priori estimation of best feasible DVH for organs‐at‐risk: Validation for head and neck VMAT planning

Purpose Despite improvements in optimization and automation algorithms, the quality of radiation treatment plans still varies dramatically. A tool that allows a priori estimation of the best possible sparing (Feasibility DVH, or FDVH) of an organ at risk (OAR) in high‐energy photon planning may help...
