Planning dose constraints for the PTV, OARs and normal tissue. Dp = prescribed dose. In cases where fulfilling all constraints was impossible, the responsible oncologist decided whether target coverage or OAR constraints should be compromised.
| Volume | Dose Constraint |
|---|---|
| PTV | V95% > 98% |
| Lungs | V5Gy < 65% |
| V20Gy < 35% | |
| Dmean < 20 Gy | |
| Heart | V30Gy < 40% |
| Esophagus | Dmean < 34 Gy |
| Spinal canal | Dmax < 50 Gy |
| Brachial plexus | Dmax < 66 Gy |
| Patient body | Dmax < Dp · 1.07 |
