Spearman’s correlation coefficient Rs between tumor characteristics and the 3D shift vector. Presented are registrations reaching significant correlations (p < 0.05)

PCT slow planning CT, AIP average intensity projection; MIP maximum intensity projection; MidV mid-ventilation

*indicates statistically significant differences with p < 0.01
