16. A method for drawing up a therapy plan, the method comprising:
determining a radiation dose distribution for an irradiation procedure using a database in which characteristic beam parameters for various treatment room isocenters are stored as a function of the spacing of the treatment room isocenter from a beam exit or beam focus. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
- 19. An irradiation method for irradiating a volume of a patient that is to be irradiated with high energy particles of a therapy system having at least two procedures for irradiating and/or imaging identical or different therapy plan isocenters in a treatment room, wherein the therapy plan isocenters of at least two of the procedures are assigned spatially different treatment room isocenters, the treatment room isocenter is reset between procedures that are assigned spatially different treatment room isocenters, and the patient is respectively positioned for carrying out the procedures in such a way that the respectively planned therapy plan isocenters and the respectively set treatment room isocenter are matched.
