- The 3D gamma passing rate of the entire area and of each region of interest (target and periphery ROI) are compared between the pencil-beam calculation (PBC) and the Monte Carlo calculation (MCC) with the Mann–Whitney U-test. The dose was measured three times, and is shown as mean ± the standard deviation.
