## Abstract Diagnostic ultrasound provides the radiation therapist a very practical method of acquiring anatomical information for developing optimized radiation therapy plans. With ultrasound it is possible to record simultaneously the contour of the patient and the location and depth of tumors an

The role of simulated annealing in therapy planning is discussed from a historical, theoretical and practical viewpoint. The properties of the method are discussed in detail together with available options and specific implementations. @ 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
## Abstract The articles presented in this issue are discussed within the context of the general literature on coping and coping style. The focus of this special issue was to determine if these articles are both consistent with extant research and advance the field. We identify at least two general
A brief review of the current status of cancer treatment based on hospital consultations, cancer treatment plans, and cancer management protocols is presented. Some potential for the development of clinical indicators around these various consultation activities are explored. The utilization of hosp
The necessity of studying the whole of a process of optimisation is emphasised. The problem and objective of radiotherapy are stated and the reasons for treatment planning optimisation being at present confined to the distribution of absorbed dose are discussed. There exist generally accepted crite
With the advent of 3-dimensional computed axial tomography simulators (CT sim), more sophisticated conformal radiation treatment planning is possible. In order to estimate the accuracy of prostate volumes calculated by C T sim, the volumes obtained by C T sim and ultrasound (US) and diagnostic C T w
