Table 4.

The normalized BED saturation threshold at which gBEUD, averaged over the nine HDR boost plans, equals the corresponding mean IMRT gBEUD (“mean” column). The “One std dev” column gives the BEDsatgBEUD value at which the HDR mean gBEUD exceeds IMRT gBEUD by one standard deviation (gBEUDHDR=gBEUDIMRTIMRT).
