Dose distributions for two representative patients with different age specific target volumes. Panels on the left are for patient 13, female, age 16 and panels on right are for patient 10: male, age 9. (a,e) Dose distribution in the axial plan at the level of the eyes. (b,g) Dose distribution in the axial plane, taken at the vertebral space between T8-T9 to show dose relative to the liver, heart, lungs, esophagus, and cord. (c,h) Dose distribution in the axial plane, taken at the vertebral space between L1-L2 to show dose relative to the liver, kidneys, and cord. (d,e) Dose distribution in the sagittal plane, taken at a poisiton lateral to the cord to include aspects of the thyroid and esophagus in the image. (i) Isodose scale for images (a–h).
