束斑减少计划的剂量分布等于或优于调强质子放疗计划。与其他技术相比，旋转弧形“穿透”计划中的危及器官剂量分布更好，但累积剂量较高

Dose distribution of spot-reduced plans were equal or better than those of the intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans. Organs at risk (OARs) dose distribution in arc-shoot-through plans were sometimes better compared to the other techniques, but integral dose was high

FLASH治疗计划的内靶区和计划靶体积剂量与容积调强放疗治疗计划相当，危及器官的剂量更低

FLASH plans had internal target volume (ITV) and planning target volume (PTV) doses comparable withvolumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans, but achieved lower doses for most OARs

相比“穿透”计划，布拉格峰计划能进一步降低危及器官剂量

Compared with the transmission plans, the Bragg peak plans further reduced doses to OARs
