Patients received either FE (N\u2009=\u200973) or PEG (N\u2009=\u200947) for rectal preparation. Outcomes included: (1) treatment time, measured from the initial setup cone-beam CT (CBCT) to the post-treatment CBCT (including rectal-related interventions, excluding machine delays); (2) intra-fraction motion, defined as the displacement vector between verification and post-treatment CBCTs registered to fiducial markers; and (3) clinical acceptability, determined by blinded review of all setup CBCTs by 3 radiation therapists (RTs), who scored each scan as either \u201cAcceptable\u201d (proceed directly to treatment) or \u201cNeed Intervention.\u201d Regression analysis was used to compare regimens.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Population-averaged median treatment times were 14\u2009minutes (95% CI, 5.8-22.2) for PEG and 11\u2009minutes (95% CI, 9.6-12.3) for FE, with greater time variability in PEG (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). Intra-fraction motion did not differ significantly between regimens. All 3 RTs judged the setup CBCTs as clinically acceptable for treatment 47.7% of the time (95% CI, 31.6%-63.8%) for the PEG regimen and 74.4% of the time (95% CI, 61%-87.8%) for the FE regimen.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, the FE regimen showed greater consistency in all outcome measures.
