Integral dose (ID) of total normal tissue

Values are mean ± standard deviation. A p-value < 0.05 is considered significant. The paired t-test was used to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference.

IMRT, intensity-modulated radiotherapy; PTV, planning target volume body-PTV, whole body without PTV; p-value (x vs. y), p-value between x-MV and y-MV IMRT technique.

^a)10-MV IMRT significantly better than compared technique, ^b)15-MV IMRT significantly better than compared technique.
