11. The dimensionality of the tumor motion was in reference to the beam direction and the motion of DMLC leaves. 1D: tumor moves parallel to the DMLC leaf motion; 2D: tumor moves both parallel and perpendicular to the DMLC leaf motion in the beam's eye view (BEV); 3D: tumor moves in all three directions.
