A simulation technique for computation of the dosimetric effects of setup, organ motion and delineation uncertainties in radiotherapy.

In this study, we introduce a novel simulation technique to incorporate delineation errors into radiotherapy treatment margins and combine them with organ motion and set-up errors to investigate the cumulative dosimetric effects in different tumour sites. The effects of applying patient realignment...
