Abstract 

The introduction of three dimensional treatment planning has brought on new treatment planning challenges. New tools, such as the Enhanced Dynamic Wedge, may help to reduce the complexity of some of these multi-dimensional treatment plans, as well the resultant potential errors that may occur. The treatment planning issues and the Enhanced Dynamic Wedge's ability to address those issues as applied to one three dimensional treatment planning case will be presented.
