Table 1.

Summary for lung cancer patients. Positive Dpt means portal image diaphragm is inferior to DRR (more like “inhale” than simulation). Spt is the SD of D for an individual patient. The estimated error in Dpt is Spt/(# films). Diaphragm excursions are estimated visually from a fluoroscopic movie acquired at simulation. The approximate period and duty cycle are estimated from the CT simulation reference session.
