Almost all setup correction protocols are
similarly efficient in ensuring CTV coverage
in presence of setup errors!
Treatment course simulations for use of different
setup protocols
no correction

No need to do especially sophisticated and
complicated corrections, but instead
implement a workflow with a few simple
corrections in a thorough way!
