Table 2 List of parameters collected for internal and planning target volume

From: Comparative analysis of delivered and planned doses in target volumes for lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy

Source of Parameters

Internal target volume

Planning target volume

TPS

Equivalent sphere diameter, volume, planned dose (min, mean, max)

Equivalent sphere diameter, volume, planned dose (min, mean, max), D2%, D95%, D98%, V100%, V50%, lung lobe where the PTV is located

Deformable image registration

Delivered dose (min, mean, max), subtracted (delivered-planned) dose (min, mean, max)

Dice similarity coefficient (DSC = 2 × |PCT∩ACT| / (|PCT|+|ACT|), also called as conformality), surface distance (mean, standard deviation, max), Warp (min, mean, max), log Jacobian (min, Q1, median, Q3, max, MMR, IQR, delivered dose (min, mean, max, D2%, D95%, D98%), subtracted (delivered-planned) dose (min, mean, max)

Dose evaluation index

 

Homogeneity index (HI = (D2% - D98%)*100/ Dprescribed [40]) and ΔHI = HIdelivered-HIplanned, conformity index (CI = V100%/volume), gradient index (GI = V100%/V50%), gradient measure (GM = (3×V50%/4π)1/3-(3×V100%/4π)1/3

  1. *D2%, D95%, D98%: dose delivered to the 2, 95, and 98% volumes of the PTV; V100%, V50%: volume covering isodose level of 100% and 50% of the prescribed dose; MMR: max-min range; IQR: inter quartile range
