Table 3.
Values of the dose to 1 cc of the nearby OAR (D1cc) and the volume of lung receiving 5 Gy (V5) determined for each case in the database when planned using the standard method, iterative reoptimization, and using noncoplanar beams. The nearby OAR for each case is listed in D1cc is given as a percentage of the prescription dose, while V5 is in terms of percentage of the total lung volume.
