  1. Dose-based contouring agreement measures for all heart atlas structures with 95% credible interval. CV: coefficient of variation. ICC: Intraclass correlation coefficient. SD: Standard deviation. DMEAN: Volume weighted mean dose. D2CC: Dose to the maximally exposed 2 cm3. V5GY: Relative volume with a dose of at least 5 Gy. V5GY for the aortic valve was always 0, SD and ICC were therefore not calculated
