Table 1.

Individualised internal target volume (ITV) margins related to target (uterus and cervix) measured at time of treatment planning as the mean between the anterior and posterior ITV margin. Target motion measurements are shown in the last columns as the distances from the borders of the anterior part of the uterus and cervix to the corresponding borders in the fused pre-treatment imaging modalities. All measurements are visually assessed.
