Table 5.
Patient-specific random inter-fraction error of gross tumor volume bounding box relative to the first ABC helical CT scan (n = 9), oriented along the axis of maximum variance. ‘Minimum box corner’ is the 3D position of the right, posterior, superior box corner surrounding the GTV; ‘Maximum box corner’ is the 3D position of the left, anterior, inferior box corner surrounding the GTV; ‘Centroid’ is the 3D position of the GTV centroid. All data reported in mm.

| 2 | 4.4 | 2.5 | 3.2 | 4.3 |
| 3 | 7.9 | 4.9 | 2.3 | 6.8 |
| 4 | 7.6 | 8.8 | 17.4 | 14.8 |
| 5 | 1.1 | 1.0 | 0.9 | 1.2 |
| 6 | 3.8 | 5.6 | 14.7 | 11.4 |
| 7 | 14.7 | 9.2 | 5.2 | 12.8 |
| 8 | 2.3 | 2.2 | 1.8 | 2.6 |

Abbreviations: RMS = root mean square of minimum, centroid, and maximum positions.
