Results The univariate analysis demonstrated that DVH was more predictive for xerostomia
and confirmed the significance of the combined parotid D95, which corresponded to our
recent investigations based on a recursive partitioning model that identified the significance
of low dose bath to the parotid gland. In multivariate analysis, the imaging features
combined with DVH improved the prediction (Table 1, P value< 0.01). The predictors were
textures of ipsilateral parotid (Laws' filter and grey-level run length based), shape (aspect …
