Aspects of enhanced three-dimensional radiotherapy treatment planning.
Advances in computer technology have led to the availability of sophisticated three-dimensional treatment planning systems for use in many radiotherapy centers. However, additional complexity in both the planning and delivery of treatments has accompanied their use. Thus, even more computer-aided tools are beginning to appear to address these needs. Aspects of recent enhancements to 3-D treatment planning at the University of Michigan are presented.
