Additional information

<12>This paper uses a novel knowledge-based fuzzy logic technique to derive radiotherapy margins based on radiotherapy uncertainties and their radiobiological effects. The main uncertainties considered are delineation, set-up and organ motion-induced errors. The results in the paper reduce the risk of exposure of healthy tissues to radiotherapy and provide a solid basis for safer treatment of prostate cancer patients.
