ABSTRACT:
A method for determining a radiation treatment plan includes defining a part of a treatment using control points, defining dose calculation points, calculating dose in the dose calculation points, and changing a number of the dose calculation points. A method for determining a radiation treatment plan includes modeling a first part of a treatment plan using a fluence map, and modeling a second part of the treatment plan using a first machine parameter. A method for determining a radiation treatment plan includes determining a plurality of dose calculation points, determining a level of complexity of fluence for one of the plurality of dose calculation points, and converting a fluence map to one or more machine parameters for the one of the plurality of dose calculation points based on the determined level of complexity.
