  1. Relative differences over all patients (mean ± standard deviation) of dosimetric values for PTV in lung SBRT between the different CT datasets for 3D-CRT and VMAT plans. PCT planning CT, AIP average intensity projection CT, MIP maximum intensity projection CT, MidV mid-ventilation CT. *assigns statistical significant values (p < 0.05)
