Future Areas of Study
- The debate between the benefits of on-line versus off-line strategies continues to be contended.
- Whether further research into biological functions and movements can create a better understanding of tumour movement in the body before, between and during treatment.
- When rules or algorithms are used, large variations in PTV margins can be reduced. Margin “recipes” are being developed that will create linear equations and algorithms that account for “normal” variations. These rules are created from a normal population, and are applied to the treatment plan off-line. Possible side effects include random errors from uniqueness of the target
- With a greater amount of data being collected, how systems must will be established for the categorizing and storing of information.

Famous quotes containing the words future, areas and/or study:
“How difficult the task to quench the fire and the pride of private ambition, and to sacrifice ourselves and all our hopes and expectations to the public weal! How few have souls capable of so noble an undertaking! How often are the laurels worn by those who have had no share in earning them! But there is a future recompense of reward, to which the upright man looks, and which he will most assuredly obtain, provided he perseveres unto the end.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas ... a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“You are, or you are not the President of The National University Law School. If you are its President I wish to say to you that I have been passed through the curriculum of study of that school, and am entitled to, and demand my Diploma. If you are not its President then I ask you to take your name from its papers, and not hold out to the world to be what you are not.”
—Belva Lockwood (1830–1917)
