A system and method of radiation planning. The system and method are
configured to implement or include the steps of (a) obtaining an image of
a patient encompassing tumorous and non-tumorous tissue, (b) applying an
encompassing field to the image having an area covering the tumorous and
non-tumorous tissue, (c) using a graphical user interface to subtract
subset fields from the encompassing field corresponding to radiation
sensitive non-tumorous tissues to define a treatment area, and (d)
inputting the treatment area to a computer program to generate a
radiation treatment plan based on at least one prescribed dose to the
treatment area.
