Table 3.

Equivalent doses received by the nominal ovaries from CRT, IMRT, and PRT. The minimum, maximum, and mean equivalent doses (H) from the therapeutic radiation field reported by the TPS are shown, as is the sum of the dose from the TPS and the dose from stray radiation.

Treatment modality	Equivalent dose (Sv)

	H_min	H_max	H_mean	H_min + H_stray	H_max + H_stray	H_mean + H_stray

CRT	0.5	0.7	0.6	0.6	0.9	0.8
IMRT	0.4	0.6	0.4	0.5	0.8	0.5
PRT	0	0.002	0.001	0.2	0.3	0.2

Abbreviations: CRT = conventional photon radiotherapy; IMRT = intensity-modulated photon radiotherapy; PRT = proton radiotherapy; TPS = treatment planning system.
