V B ≥95%:% of PTV boost receiving ≥95% of the prescribed dose

V E ≥95%:% of PTV elective receiving ≥95% of the prescribed dose

*: in 1 patient with T1 carcinoma of the soft palate, 96.2% of PTVboost received 95% of prescribed dose, this was accepted because of the fact that a large part of the PTVboost consisted of air.
