“…For example, tongue base or oral cavity targets may see up to 3 mm 3D shifts, while targets closer to skull base and more centrally located, including retropharyngeal nodes, typically require <1.5mm shifts and <1.5 rotations. This observed increase in uncertainty for targets further from the skull base is consistent with reports from Zhang et al, and other studies 11 , 18 . For these patients, bony alignment on 2D images may be suboptimal.…”

“…To account for positional uncertainty of the cervical spine as shown in prior studies, (11) results were also compared separately between skull base targets (Group 1, 11 patients, 55 sessions) and targets below C1 (Group 2, 10 patients, 50 sessions).…”

“…Zhang et al (11) used a CT‐on‐Rails system to measure ∑ and σRMS3 times weekly throughout treatment at various anatomic landmarks. Another CT study by Guckenberger et al (9) used automated bony matching of cone‐beam CT to measure setup error in 8 head‐and‐neck patients.…”

“…The entire image was rigidly rotated, and the best match between the reference and OBI image was chosen. The measured rotational errors may therefore not be the same as non‐rigid “head rotation,” which has been measured as rotation around C2 in a recent paper by Zhang et al (11) …”
