Does the protocol-required uniform margin around the CTV adequately account for setup inaccuracies in whole breast irradiation?

Does the protocol-required uniform margin around the CTV adequately account for setup inaccuracies in whole breast irradiation?

Abstract Purpose To use cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to determine the impacts of patient characteristics on the magnitude of geometric setup errors and obtain patient-specific planning target volume (PTV) margins from the correlated patient characteristics in whole breast irradiation...
