Table 4.

Mean equivalent dose (H) received from CRT, IMRT, and PRT by the 5 sets of ovaries contoured for the sensitivity test. The mean equivalent dose from therapeutic radiation reported by the TPS is shown as well as the sum of the dose from the TPS and the dose from stray radiation.

Ovary set	H (Sv)^a
	Therapeutic (reported by TPS)			Therapeutic + stray
	CRT	IMRT	PRT	CRT	IMRT	PRT

1	0.6	5.5	0.001	0.60	5.50	0.34
2	5.3	4.2	0.001	6.64	4.20	0.29
3	1.2	2.7	0.06	1.50	2.70	0.40
4	0.6	0.4	0.001	0.77	0.50	0.33
5	0.8	0.8	0.001	1.01	0.80	0.25

In the calculations, we used an average value of the radiation weighting factor, w̄_R = 9.75 for external neutrons and w̄_R = 9.93 for internal neutrons

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