Abstract: A method of performing dose calculations for ion radiotherapy compensating for tissue in which the density within a voxel may be inhomogeneous by approximating a portion of the voxel as an air cavity. For each dose voxel, the voxel is inscribed in a three-dimensional grid comprising a number of cells and the propagation of ions through the voxel is calculated based on the cell pattern in the at least one cell overlapping the voxel. Preferably, the voxel is inscribed in the three-dimensional grid in such a way that it overlaps at least one cell fully. Each cell comprises a first portion representing a first density corresponding to a density of a tissue and a second portion representing a second density corresponding to the density of air, the first and second portions forming a cell pattern.

Abstract: A radiotherapy treatment plan may be evaluated based on a combination of two or more metrics, by the steps of simulating the result of delivery of the plan, obtaining values from the simulation for at least a first and a second metric, performing a multivariate analysis of the values and determining a quality of the plan based on the result of the multivariate analysis. The metrics may include at least one of dose, LET, track ends, RBE, alpha/beta ratio and statistical uncertainty of the plan.

Abstract: An inverse-planning method (100), by which a treatment plan specifying a non-photon irradiation of a patient including a target volume is generated, comprises: obtaining (110, 112) first and second plan goals in terms of a respective first and second numerical condition on the treatment plan’s photon-equivalent dose as computed using a first and second RBE factor; and generating (114) the treatment plan by an optimization process aiming to satisfy the first, second and any further plan goals, wherein (a) the first and second plan goals apply to volumes which either are included in the TV or are completely or partially separate from the TV and/or (b) the first and second RBE factors are variable. In a further aspect, a data carrier provides a treatment plan with these characteristics together with reporting quantities relating to fulfilment of the first and second plan goals.

Abstract: A method for generating a robust radiotherapy treatment plan for a treatment volume of a subject, the treatment volume being defined using a plurality of voxels, the method comprising the steps of defining (S100) an optimization problem using at least one optimization function for a biological endpoint related to the radiotherapy treatment; defining (S102) a set of scenarios comprising at least a first scenario and a second scenario, wherein at least two of the scenarios in the set of scenarios represent different biological models to quantify the same biological endpoint; calculating (S104) an optimization function value for each scenario in the set of scenarios; generating (S106) a radiotherapy treatment plan by robustly optimizing the optimization function value evaluated over the set of scenarios

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the field of radiation treatment. More specifically, the present disclosure generally relates to methods and radiation treatment systems for facilitating a multimodal radiation therapy treatment plan, in particular a multimodal radiation therapy plan employing a combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment. According to one example embodiment described in the disclosure, a method may comprise obtaining information related to a set of candidate beam types for the combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment; comparing the set of candidate beam types against a selection criterion to establish a subset of beam types from the candidate beam types; and generating the combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment plan utilizing the thus established subset of beam types.

Abstract: A combined set of treatment plans including radiation treatment and hyperthermia treatment may be optimized either by co-optimizing both plans together or by optimizing one of the plans and then optimizing the other taking into account the predicted effect of the first optimized plan.

Abstract: A radiotherapy treatment planning method for achieving a FLASH radiotherapy treatment plan involves optimizing the plan using an optimization problem that has been designed to maximize the part of the irradiation that will be delivered under FLASH conditions, in particular to an organ at risk, to minimize the damage to the organ at risk.

Abstract: Accumulated path length for ions that reach a particular area of a patient is used in dose planning as an indicator of plan robustness. Also, the magnitude of the variations of the accumulated path lengths is determined for a number of beam directions, allowing beam directions to be selected for maximum robustness in treatment planning.

Abstract: A method of radiotherapy treatment planning for creating a plan for delivery of radiation to a patient in at least one particle-based arc is proposed. The delivery time for the plan is reduced by including a penalty in the objective function, designed to limit the number of energy layers and/or the number of energy layer changes.

Abstract: The function of a radiotherapy treatment delivery system may be tested by comparing actual delivery data to simulated delivery data based on a system model. The actual delivery data may be obtained from a dry run of the system.
