Table 3.
Gamma pass rates for simulated treatment plans comparing the motion compensated dose distributions to planned. All dose differences are relative to the global maximum dose. A dose threshold of 10% of the prescription dose (50 Gy) is applied to all data. Gamma analyses are 3D. The extreme locations correspond to shifts in IEC‐Y at isocenter of ± 2.0 cm and ± 1.25 cm for the 1.0‐cm and 2.5‐cm jaws, respectively.
