Table 3. Comparison of the average of the differences (Δ) of LAT-, AP- and VERT-coordinates between the selected target defined by direct MDEFT-based and indirect atlas-based planning.
| ΔLAT | ΔAP | ΔVERT | n | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| atlas-based target | 1.04 ± 0.75 | 1.05 ± 0.62 | 0.14 ± 0.2 | 26 |
| MDEFT-based target | 0.8 ± 0.67 | 0.63 ± 0.4 | 0.09 ±0.12 | 26 |
| p 1 -value | <0.0001 | 0.03 | 0.32 |
Values are means ± SD in mm
1 p-value calculated with unpaired t-test of same variance; n reflects the number of investigated cases.
