Abstract
Better Pareto dose distributions for multi-criteria optimization of treatment plans can be obtained by obtaining at least one reference dose function designed to result in an acceptable reference dose distribution, defining a multi-criteria optimization problem including the at least one reference dose function as at least one optimization function, performing at least two optimization procedures based on the multi-criteria optimization problem to generate a set of at least two possible treatment plans, obtaining a treatment plan to be used for treating the patient, based on the set of possible treatment plans, by selecting one plan or by combining plans.
