Abstract
Radiotherapy treatment planning involves the calculation of absorbed dose to the target volume to be treated. These calculations may be performed manually by superimposing isodose charts from the radiotherapy treatment machine. As anyone who has performed a manual treatment plan will testify, this is not an intellectually stimulating task. The process does not lend itself to the production of accurate and reproducible radiotherapy treatments. Moreover, at the time the paper was written it was common practice not to perform individual treatment plans on all patients because of the time-consuming nature of manual treatment planning.
