    The study evaluates six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) setup errors in head and neck radiotherapy using uniform cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) conditions.

  • 2

    Different anatomical registration regions influence the range and distribution of setup errors, affecting the precision of patient positioning.

  • 3

    The analysis included 82 patients with head and neck cancer, yielding 1,944 region-specific 6DoF records from 486 CBCT scans.

  • 4

    Four anatomical registration regions were assessed: head-neck combined frame, nasopharyngeal frame, lower neck frame, and lower cervical vertebral body frame.

  • 5

    Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized to characterize the structural patterns of multi-dimensional setup errors in the study.
