Isodose curves for a prostate slice of an escalated treatment plan from the automated treatment planning system. Prostate contour is shown as bold dotted line and isodose curves (50% for the outermost curve and increasing in steps of 50%) as solid lines. "U" represents the urethra position; "S" represents the radioactive seeds. The square box indicates a tumor pocket as identified by the MRS image. A clear dose escalation around the tumor is observed. Using a biological tumor control probability model, it is observed that TCP improves from 65% for the non-escalated plan to 95% for this escalated plan.		Eva Lee shows ultrasound image of a prostate, as computer monitor displays prostate structures and another ultrasound image.
