Example of a dose distribution and dose-volume histogram of an HA-WBRT + SIB plan for one patient with 5 brain metastases. Colors indicate the following: green, hippocampi; light pink, PGTVm; orange, PCTV (whole brain + 3 mm); The maximum dose of hippocampus was 14.2 Gy, whereas the whole brain and the metastases received doses of 30 and 48 Gy, respectively. HA-WBRT + SIB, hippocampus-avoidance whole-brain radiation therapy with a simultaneous integrated boost; PGTVm, planning tumor volume of metastases; PCTV, planning tumor volume of the whole brain (clinical target volume)
