Figure 2

Examples of dose distribution of a 3DCRT, IMRT-5, VMAT, PSPT, IMPT, and a BT treatment plan calculated on the same patient. The red surface represents the high-dose regions, the yellow surface the intermediate-high-dose regions, the dark blue surface the low-dose regions, and the azure blue surface the intermediate-dose regions. 3D-CRT: 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy; IMRT: intensity modulated radiotherapy; VMAT: volumetric modulated arc therapy; PSPT: passively scattered proton therapy; IMPT: intensity modulated proton therapy; BT: brachytherapy.
