Figure 9. — Dose-volume histograms for (a) PTV, (b) rectum and (c) bladder. The figure summarizes all dose distributions for a margin of 20 mm. Blue lines correspond to the reference plans, red line correspond to the combined elbow configuration and black lines correspond to all remaining plans. The figure illustrates that the PTV coverage for the combined elbow configurations is typically higher than for other plans while the OAR dose are not compromised. OAR, organs at risk; PTV, planning target volume.
