Dose-Volume-Histogram. Cumulative (left) dose-volume-histogram (DVH) of the salivary glands after 3 min irradiation with the 6 × 7 cm²FRM II neutron beam, a total primary neutron fluence rate of 3.2 · 10⁸n/cm²s and a total primary photon fluence rate of 2.9 · 10⁸7/cm²s; r = right, 1 = left; subman gl = submandibular gland; subli gl = sublingual gland; par gl = parotid gland. Right histogram: dependence of DVH of right and left submandibular glands on RBE, dose normalized to dose at 50% volume of the right/left submandibular gland respectively.
