Note: Exact=known coordinate values at each point; |ΔE|=absolute values of displacement from the exact points on the phantom; Point 1, Point 2, Point 3, and Point4=each measured point on the phantom. The points are in the phantom as follows: Point 1 is at the corner closest to the Roman numeral indicating each zone followed by the other points, in turn, at the corner of each zone clockwise from Point 1; SD=standard deviation.
