Table 2.

Mean doses (range) to neurocognitive organs at risk represented as percentage of the prescribed treatment dose.

Technique Hippocampus (%) SVZ (%) Neurocognitive OAR (%)
CTV V95 = 98%
Protons 77.0 (71.0–80.6) 79.2 (71.6–87.0) 78.0 (71.3–81.1)

IMAT 97.2 (95.9–98.4) 98.7 (96.6–101.7) 97.8 (96.2–99.8)
Opposing fields 98.0 (97.2–99.3) 100.4 (99.4–101.3) 99.2 (98.9–100.0)
CTV V95 = 95%
Protons 41.9 (25.9–50.3) 42.7 (27.4–51.5) 42.3 (26.6–51.2)
IMRT 77.1 (72.5–81.1) 77.2 (70.6–81.5) 77.1 (71.5–81.3)

Note: The neurocognitive OAR dose was taken as the average dose of the hippocampus and the SVZ.
