Figure 1. CT slices showing target volumes and dose distributions for a typical radiation treatment in the a) sagittal plane and b) transversal plane. Volumes: Yellow (2) = GTV, Red (7) = PTV (T), Yellow (3) = PTV (N), Green (8) = spinal cord. Isodoses:Orange = 68.0 Gy (105%), Green = 61.4 Gy (95%), Blue = 40.8 Gy (63%), Lilac = 20 Gy (30%) Field sizes:0–40.8 Gy = 14×11 cm 40.8–64.6 Gy = 8×9.5 cm CT = computer tomography, GTV = gross tumor volume, PTV(T) = planning target volume (tumor), PTV(N) = planning target volume (node).
