Abstract
It is provided a method for generating a plurality of potential treatment plans, each treatment plan specifying a distribution of radiation to a target volume, the method being performed by a treatment planning system and comprising the steps of: generating a plurality of potential treatment plans (12), for performing multi-criteria optimization (MCO), based on a set of optimization functions. At least one optimization function depends on the distribution of the product of radiation dose and linear energy transfer, LET, in a specified region of the patient, yielding a plurality of treatment plans.
