Dv50

Dv50 is a term used in multiple domains and does not refer to a single, widely recognized entity. Its meaning depends on context and field of use.

In medicine and radiotherapy, similar notation appears as D50% or D50 in dose–volume statistics derived from dose–volume histograms (DVHs). These metrics describe the dose level associated with a given percentile of a structure’s volume, with D50 indicating the dose received by 50% of the volume. DV50, when used, is typically interpreted in the same way but is less standardized in nomenclature. Clinicians compare DV50/D50 with other percentiles (e.g., D95, D2cc) to assess target coverage and risk to nearby organs.

In technology and product naming, DV50 has been used as a model or variant identifier for devices or components from various manufacturers. It may appear on electronics, cameras, drones, or industrial sensors. Because there is no single official specification for a DV50 designation, the exact features, performance, and release context must be verified from the product documentation.

In other contexts, Dv50 or DV50 might arise as an acronym, part number, or shorthand in catalogs, technical documentation, or niche communities. Without additional context, the term is ambiguous.
