Table 6.
Patients' conditions that could lead to a larger risk of dose calculation error.
| Condition | No. of patients with this condition | p‐value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lung volume larger than 3396cc | 32 | PTV D95 a (%) | p=0.01 | |
| PTV mean dose (%) | p=0.04 | |||
| Pathological condition of emphysema | 12 | PTV D95 a (%) | p<0.01 | |
| PTV mean dose (%) | p<0.01 | |||
| Electron density of the lung or lower | 31 | PTV D95 a (%) PTV mean dose (%) |
|
|
| Fully surrounded by the lung | 22 | PTV D95 a (%) | p=0.04 | |
| PTV mean dose (%) | p=0.54 |
PTV D95 ‐ dose covering 95% or more of the PTV.
