Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for planning radiation treatment are used to identify, for a given isocenter and given beam energy, beam delivery angles where beam fields satisfy a criterion for transmission fields (fields with a Bragg peak that is significantly or entirely outside of a patient's body). Those beam angles can be determined and evaluated before dose calculations are performed. Treatment planning can be performed using selected, satisfactory beam angles.
