Abstract
A method and device are used for automatized dose planning in stereotactic radiosurgery. The method comprises the steps of: inputting into a computer location data on the target volume to be irradiated; positioning in the dose plan a number of shots having a preliminary weight, in certain preliminary positions in the target volume; and by an iterative minimizing method, minimizing the dose plan with respect to shot positions and shot weights.
