1. A method of generating a positive ion beam sequence for providing a prescriptive dose of high energy polyenergetic positive ions to a target volume, comprising the steps of:

  • a) providing a plurality of beam angles, plan prescription, and dose constraints;

    b) providing a plan optimization process based on a beam scanning sequence;

    c) applying said beam scanning sequence to said beam angles, plan prescription and dose constraints to generate plan optimization results;

    d) comparing the plan optimization results to the plan prescription; and

    e) modulating the beam scanning sequence and iteratively repeating steps b), c) and d) until the plan optimization results are acceptable.
