Comparison of PSPT plans with and without compensators. (A) Box-and-whisker plot of maximum lens dose, right and left, for PSW and PSWO plans. Vertical bars represent range and central bar median. (B) Box-and-whisker plot of mean cochlear dose, right and left, for PSW and PSWO plans. (C) Representative axial computed tomographic plans with and without compensators. Axial sections, at the level of the cochlea (highlighted in orange), demonstrate dose heterogeneity introduced by the compensator edge, extending through the brainstem. Yellow arrows depict the beam angles utilized. *significant vs. PSW, (p < 0.05), Student’s t-test with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.
