Table 3.

Average and standard deviation results for the DVH shape-based metrics for each organ at each campus. Bolded and italicized values represent regional sites that statistically differed (p < 0.05) from MC for that metric. The lungs displayed the most consistency and the stomach the least consistency between each RS and MC.

Organ Campus P = % DVH bins outside predicted band
(avg +/− SD)(%) [p-value]
F =% DVH bins outside worse than prediction
(avg +/− SD) (%) [p-value]
mRSR = net DVH area between planned and predicted DVH
(avg +/− SD) (Gy) [p-value]
