Plan reporting
Current plan reporting (e.g. recent ASTRO recommendation) does not
include ‘error bars’.
If there are uncertainties in the planning procedure, they should be
reflected in plan reporting.
E.g., reporting the PTV dose is correct only if
The margins are correct
The dose distribution is invariant for traslations/rotations
The dose in the PTV is homogeneous
The same holds for ‘biological planning’:
Uncertainty in the optimisation parameters (e.g. ‘a’) should result in
a robustness analysis of the results.
