Radiation treatment trajectory and planning methods
First Claim
1. A method of determining a treatment plan, comprising:
- determining a machine parameter;
using an optimization technique to determine a first value for the machine parameter, the first value representing a first condition of a machine to be achieved during a treatment;
using interpolation of the machine parameter to prescribe a second condition of the machine to be achieved during the treatment; and
storing the first value in a computer-readable medium;
wherein the act of using the optimization technique and the act of using interpolation are performed by a processor.

Abstract
A radiation system includes a radiation source, and a patient support for supporting a patient, the patient support located adjacent to the radiation source such that the radiation source can deliver radiation towards the patient while the patient is supported on the patient support, wherein the patient support and the radiation source are positionable at least partially around a same spatial region. A system for use to determine a treatment plan includes a user interface for allowing a user to define a plurality of control points, a first parameter, and a second parameter, wherein the user interface also allows the user to prescribe which of the first and second parameters is to be optimized, and which of the first and second parameters is to be interpolated.

7. A system for use to determine a treatment plan, comprising:
-
a user interface for allowing a user to define a plurality of control points for a treatment plan; wherein the user interface is configured for allowing a user to selectively choose one or both of two available choices for a first machine parameter for one of the control points, said two available choices being optimization and/or interpolation of said first machine parameter in a treatment planning process, and for allowing the user to selectively choose one or both of two available choices for a second machine parameter for the one of the control points, wherein said two available choices includes optimization and interpolation of said second machine parameter in the treatment planning process. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 36, 37, 38)
