Table 3.
(a) Dosimetric homogeneity indices in the PTV calculated for treatment plans 1 to 4 (all fields). The volume (%) that receives more than 110% and less than 93% of the prescribed dose (D50), V93 and V110 respectively, are also given. (b) PVDR and s-index in the PTV evaluated for treatment plans 3 and 4 (individual fields). The PVDR uncertainties are the standard deviation of the PVDR, as defined in section II.3.
