  1. The mean dose difference between D1 and D2 for CTV Dmin, PTV D95%, PTV D98%, rectum D15% and bladder Dmean. Values in square brackets represent the range of dose difference. Differences between D1 and D2 with PTV margin of 7 mm, 5 mm and 3 mm are shown. Negative numbers indicate a decrease in dose from D1 to D2. The p-value for each structure is displayed for all PTV margins
