Abstract
The results illustrate that comparison of DVH for the nominal scenario alone does not provide any information about the relative sensitivity of dosimetric outcome to delivery uncertainties. Thus, such comparison may be misleading and may result in the selection of an inferior plan for delivery to a patient. A better-informed decision can be made if additional information about possible dosimetric variability is presented; for example, in the form of DVH bands.
