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.
