Fig. 1From: A treatment planning study comparing IMRT techniques and cyber knife for stereotactic body radiotherapy of low-risk prostate carcinomaBoxplot demonstrating a difference in the sparing of urinary bladder and rectum by using of different radiation techniques. Red lines represent dose objective levels (level rectum V32.6 Gy <  10% out of scale). * - Significantly (p < 0.05) superior sparing for urinary bladder was found for VMAT and SW at V18 Gy vs. CK, and of rectum for Tomo, SW and VMAT at V18 Gy vs. CK. Abbreviations: VMAT – Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy; SW – Sliding Window; HT– helical tomotherapy; CK – Cyber Knife; Vx – percent of OAR volume exposed to certain radiation doseBack to article page
