On-Line Adaptive Radiation Therapy: Feasibility and Clinical Study

Figure 9

Head-to-head comparison between reoptimized plans (Adapt) and the new plans (New), based on Dmax (blue, right) and D99 (green, left) of CTV. Dose differences between New and Adapt plans are calculated by subtracting DNew from DAdapt. Black dots represent the median value of each parameter; thick bars indicate 25th ~ 75th percentile range, while thin lines extend to the full range of all five fractions. For Pt nos. 2, 3, and 6, since the maximal doses for majority of fractions are the same, the dots overlap with the 25% and the lower limit of the sample range.
