Flexible treatment planning
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- performing forward planning, at least in part, to develop a treatment plan using a first subset of beams of a plurality of beams, wherein performing forward planning comprises selecting a direction and an intensity for each beam in the first subset of beams; and
performing inverse planning, at least in part to develop the treatment plan.

35. A treatment planning system, comprising:
-
means for developing a treatment plan using, at least in part, a forward planning module, wherein the forward planning module is configured to enable a user to select a direction and an intensity for each of a first subset of beams; and means for developing the treatment plan using, at least in part, an inverse planning module.
