Systematic and random errors were computed for each anatomical region, and CTV-to-PTV margins were estimated using ICRU 62, Stroom\u2019s, and van Herk\u2019s formulas. Average shifts and 3D displacement vectors were quantified across the skull, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Setup uncertainties were site dependent, with the thorax showing the largest systematic error (3.9 mm) and the leg the largest random error (2.6 mm). The mean 3D displacement vector ranged from 3.3 mm (pelvis) to 6.8 mm (leg). Based on systematic and random error analysis, differential PTV margins of 3 mm, for skull, 5 mm for thorax, abdomen and pelvis, and 10 mm for extremities were determined to maintain adequate dose coverage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>VMAT-based TMLI requires region-specific margins to account for setup uncertainties, particularly in extremities.
