C coronal: area to be treat with their isodose curves
D sagittal: location of intra-thoracic esophageal-jejunal anastomosis (red arrows)
E sagittal: volume planning of the area to be treat (pink color)
F sagittal: area to be treat with their isodose curves
G axial: start bordering of the area to be treat (red line) and the area to be exclude (light blue line)
H: graphic depiction of the isodose curves. Best chance of rapid dose attenuation in critical organs. Sufficiently constant dose on the target to be treat
