Abstract
The deliverable method yielded similar dose distributions for each of the individual phase plans and statistically equivalent dosimetric values compared with the 3D optimal method, indicating that the deliverable method is dosimetrically robust to the variations of fractional time spent in respiratory phases on a given 4D CT scan. Nonlinear target motion and deformation did not cause significant dose discrepancies.
