Parotid Scoring

No Variation

Minor Variation

Major Variation

Mean dose to either parotid is at or less than 26.0 Gy or

40% of either parotid receives less than, or equal to 30.0 Gy

Failure to achieve either No Variation or Minor Variation

50% of either parotid receives less than 30.0 Gy or

 

20 cc of the combined parotid glands receive less than 20.0 Gy

 

Organs at Risk (OAR)

Specific tolerance dose values have been established for this protocol. 

Organ at Risk (OAR)

Dose Limit and Criteria

Temporal lobes

60 Gy or 1% of Vol. < 65 Gy

Brainstem*, optic nerves, chiasm*

             54 Gy or 1% < 60 Gy

Spinal Cord+

             45Gy or 1 cc of Vol. < 50.0 Gy

Mandible T-M Joint

             70 Gy or 1cc < 75.0 Gy

+The spinal cord should be contoured as 0.5 cm larger in radius than the actual cord.  This may be accomplished using a 0.5 cm margin for the Planning Organ at Risk (PRV) if your system supports such.

*The brainstem and chiasm should be contoured 0.1 cm larger in radius than the actual structure.
