1. Method of determining a planning target volume for a system for irradiating a predetermined minimum target volume in a body with a particle beam, the system being constructed to direct the particle beam at a multiplicity of target points in the body in succession in order to produce at each of the target points a predetermined dose distribution, comprising the following steps:

  • determining, in a fictive homogeneous body, a target volume equivalent to the minimum target volume in the body;

    extending the equivalent target volume by a safety margin, in order to determine the planning target volume.
