Summary metrics for resulting dose distributions on all ten plans after prioritized optimization using the same slip parameters. Units are Gy except for V40 (in % volume). Performance metrics tend to be very similar, with the exception of plan 2, which appeared to be a lower quality solution (perhaps due to lack of solution optimality).
