  1. The list of OARs for each case can be found in Table 1. The number of cases containing each OAR is listed in column 2. The last column shows clinical tolerance levels for the OARs. For kidney, the D1cc is not a parameter that is used in clinical practice, therefore there is no tolerance level for this organ. All parameters are given in Gy
