There was a figure labelling error in the above manuscript. In the figures Sb,c,dj,k, and 1, all dashed lines should be solid and vice versa. The ‘x’ and ‘0’ markers should then attach to the new central dashed and solid lines respective- ly. Fortunately the correction of this error has only a small impact on the text. The following sentences in italics are corrections to sentences in the original paper.

Page 256, column 1, line 48 should read; The optimisation does, however, produce about l-2% more rectal vohane in the >80% bin for the 4.6, and 8 fieldplans, and l-2% less for the 3 field plans.

Page 256, column 2, line 1 should read; In the 4,6 and8fieldplans, the optimisation produces a higher volume in the 20-50% bin and a substantially lower vohune in the SO-80% bin.

Page 256, column 2, line 17 should read; From Fig. 5 we expect that the optimisation has slightly worsened the rectal dose for the 4.6, and8fieldplans, and slightly improved it for the 3 field plans. The femoral head dose appears to be a signtficant improvement for all plan types.
