1 VARIAN Model Analytics Model Name: Haris_PRO_Rez_Model_ Description FFF SingleArc Pläne (typ. PRO-Rezidiv) Dose prescriptions Gy (), 7 Gy (), 7 Gy (), Gy (), Gy () Model summary Number of targets Number of OARs Total number of plans Target structures Analyzed OAR structures PTV Rectum Bladder PTV Matched ID:s PTV(), PTV PRO(), PTV PRO-Rez(), PTV PRO PSARez(), PTV PRO R(), PTV PRO-PSA Rez() Geometric information Shows volume data for the structure. Reports if more data is needed for a certain volume range. Total volume [cm³] Total volume [cm³] Consider adding the following to the model Dosimetric information Shows the dose that the target structure receives as well as its dose homogeneity. Reports if homogeneity in this target is lower than in the majority of targets and lists potential trade-offs. Monday, August, ::9 AM (UTC) Page of 7

2 Haris_PRO_Rez_Model_ Mean dose [Gy] Mean dose [%] Sigma index Mean dose [Gy] 7 Mean dose [%] Rectum Matched ID:s Rectum() Model information Reports deviant or influential plan structures. They have the greatest effect on the accuracy of DVH estimates. Consider removing the following from the model Check the following plans Plan # Structure Reason Rectum The geometry of the structure seems to differ from the majority: OAR in-field volume (%) is much bigger than the average (9.9% vs. 7.97%). Geometric information Shows volume data for the structure. Reports if more data is needed for a certain volume range. Total volume [cm³] In-field volume [cm³]...7.

4 Haris_PRO_Rez_Model_ Overlap volume with the union of targets [cm³]. Overlap volume with the union of targets [%] Consider adding the following to the model Reason Not enough data exists for OAR volume between 79.cm³ and 9.9cm³. To fill the data gap, consider adding more plans to the model. Not enough data exists for OAR overlap volume with the union of targets between.cm³ and.cm³. To fill the data gap, consider adding more plans to the model. Not enough data exists for OAR in-field volume (%) between.% and 9.%. Not enough data exists for OAR in-field volume between 7.7cm³ and.77cm³. To fill the data gap, consider adding more plans to the model. Dosimetric information Shows dose that the structure receives. Reports if dose is higher than estimated and lists potential trade-offs.

5 Haris_PRO_Rez_Model_ Model information Reports deviant or influential plan structures. They have the greatest effect on the accuracy of DVH estimates. Consider removing the following from the model Plan # Structure Reason Bladder The structure may distort the shape and position of estimated DVHs. 7 Bladder The structure may distort the shape and position of estimated DVHs. Check the following plans Plan # Structure Reason Bladder The shape of the estimated DVH seems to differ from the original DVH curve, or the dose of the structure may differ considerably from the average. Geometric information Shows volume data for the structure. Reports if more data is needed for a certain volume range. Total volume [cm³] In-field volume [cm³] In-field volume [%] Out-of-field volume [cm³] Out-of-field volume [%] Overlap volume with the union of targets [cm³] Overlap volume with the union of targets [%]....7 Total volume [cm³] Monday, August, ::9 AM (UTC) Page of 7

To fill the data gap, consider adding more plans to the model. Not enough data exists for OAR overlap volume with the union of targets (%) between.% and.9%. Not enough data exists for OAR overlap volume with the union of targets between.9cm³ and.77cm³. To fill the data gap, consider adding more plans to the model. Not enough data exists for OAR in-field volume between 7.cm³ and 9.cm³. To fill the data gap, consider adding more plans to the model. Not enough in-field data exists for this structure. The generated DVH estimates may not be optimal. Consider adding more plans to the model. Monday, August, ::9 AM (UTC) Page of 7
