Abstract

Purpose/Objective(s): To compare the uncertainties of 3D dose distributions, caused by the geometrical uncertainty of patient setup, in IMRT, VMAT, and proton plans for post-prostatectomy treatment. To test the effectiveness of a common margin recipe in these three types of treatment plans.
