Bar graphs with associated standard deviation error bars comparing the mean ${\text{BED}}_{3\text{Gy}}$ values (n = 20 patients) of maximum point dose and dose to $<1\hspace{0.17em}\text{cc}$ of ribs delivered using XVMC vs. RTOG 0915 guidelines. The ${\text{BED}}_{3\text{Gy}}$ for XVMC vs. RTOG 0915 for maximum point dose and dose to $<1\hspace{0.17em}\text{cc}$ of ribs were ($249\pm 54\hspace{0.17em}\text{Gy}$ vs. 165 Gy) and ($173\pm 29\hspace{0.17em}\text{Gy}$ vs. 112 Gy), on average, respectively. Note: Our prescription dose of 54 Gy in 3 fractions ($\mathrm{n}=5\hspace{0.17em}\text{patients}$) and 50 Gy in 5 fractions ($\mathrm{n}=5\hspace{0.17em}\text{patients}$).
