  1. L -left, R – right, neighboring – the PTV is located at some distance from the nearest OAR, involving – the PTV is partially inside the nearest OAR, encompassing – the PTV surrounds the nearest OAR, adjacent – the PTV is in contact with the nearest OAR but does not surround or involve it, within – the whole PTV is inside an OAR.
