Abstract

Treatment fields can be produced as part of a treatment plan that achieves a desired balance between field delivery time and dose based on machine parameters and knowledge, such as machine-specific beam production, transport and scanning logic, and/or a maximum treatment time value. The treatment parameters can be adjusted using a graphical user interface so that treatment time or dosimetry is prioritized. As a result, the overall treatment time is reduced, and hence treatment quality and patient experience are improved.
