FIGURE 1Representative CT images demonstrating the distribution of planned and applied doses in relation to the positional imaging frequency.
FIGURE 2Summed dose-volume histograms for the prostate CTV (blue lines), PTV (orange lines), bladder (green lines) and rectum (red lines) for treatment plans and dose accumulations in dependency of the image-guided repositioning frequency. Lighter-colored bands represent the 95% confidence intervals for each curve.
Average and standard deviation of differences between applied and planned dose-volume indices for daily and different non-daily CT-based repositioning concepts. Negative values represent decreases in accumulated doses.
