Abstract

A dose rate-volume histogram is generated for a target volume. The dose rate-volume histogram can be stored in computer system memory and used to generate a radiation treatment plan. An irradiation time-volume histogram can also be generated for the target volume. The irradiation time-volume histogram can be stored in computer system memory and used to generate the radiation treatment plan.
