TABLE 1.
Field arrangements and dose objective/constraints of the plans
| Number of beams | Prescribed dose | Dose objective/constraints | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prostate | 9 Coplanar fields | 68 Gy/34 fx 53 |
Prescribed dose covers at least 98% of the PTV Maximum dose to 2% of the PTV = 72.76 Gy Maximum dose to 50% of the bladder and rectum = 65 and 50 Gy, respectively Dose to 25% of rectum = 65 Gy |
| Liver | 5 Coplanar fields | 45 Gy/3 fx 54 |
Dose to 70% of the healthy liver (liver‐CTV) <10 Gy Maximum dose to 30 cm3 of heart <30 Gy |
| Head and neck (H&N) | 7 Coplanar fields |
Tumor and lymph nodes = 63 Gy/35 fx |
Maximum doses of spinal cord = 50 Gy Mean dose of larynx = 40 Gy |
| Nasal cavity |
5 Coplanar fields 2 Non‐coplanar fields |
60 Gy/30 fx 58 |
Maximum dose of optic nerve/chiasm = 55 Gy Maximum dose of brainstem = 54 Gy Maximum dose of lenses = 20 Gy |
| GBM |
3 Coplanar fields 2 Non‐coplanar fields |
60 Gy/30 fx 59 | OAR dose objectives: same as the H&N |
| Orbits |
2 Coplanar fields 6 Non‐coplanar fields |
54 Gy/30 fx 60 | OAR dose objectives: same as the H&N |
