Planning Structures
Crop back PTVs 3mm from the body contour (for dose buildup)
Will add additional margin on crop (dose fall off of 5% per mm)
Overlaps with brachial plexus, but BP max is 66 Gy and PTV int dose is 63 Gy
This margin is to avoid the structures from sharing pixels that may mess with the
optimizer
Parotids
Will add avoidance structure with a lower mean dose and drive the dose down
