note = "Funding Information: The editors thank the many individuals and organizations who made this stimulating and forward-looking conference and proceedings possible. First, we acknowledge our invited speakers and the nearly 300 paid attendees who actively participated in consensus formation. The Program Committee (Jeffrey Williamson, Chairman; James Deye, Geoffrey Ibbott, Peter Johnstone, Mary Martel, Jatinder Palta, James A. Purdy, Randall Ten Haken, and Bruce Thomadsen) worked collaboratively to develop the program concept, to solicit speakers, and to edit the proceedings papers. We are grateful to ASTRO for funding the symposium and the supplement publication costs as well as for providing outstanding logistical support. Significant financial support or sponsorship was provided by AAPM, the American College of Radiology (ACR), and NCI. In addition we thank Elekta, Varian Medical Systems, Scanditronix Wellhofer, Standard Imaging, Sun Nuclear, and TomoTherapy for their generous support of this meeting. We thank the editors of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics for the opportunity to publish this supplement containing brief, four-page articles summarizing the symposium presentations. Without the expert editorial support from Rebecca Bertrand, this supplement would not have been possible. Finally, the untiring efforts of the ASTRO staff is acknowledged and deeply appreciated, in particular that of Kathy Thomas and Shana Treger.",
