Abstract
A method of radiating a plurality of masses in a patient is provided, including receiving a three-dimensional model of the patient, the model including respective locations of a plurality of OARs, receiving a set of locations in the model corresponding to the masses, respective prescribed radiation dosages for the masses, and respective radiation limits for the OARs. The method includes computing a candidate set of beams having respective beam paths that travel through at least one of the masses. The method includes scoring the candidate set of beams based on respective dosages provided to the masses, respective dosages provided to the OARs, and beams in a set of selected beams for treatment, adding a best-scoring beam among the candidate set of beams to the set of selected beams, and radiating the masses using the set of selected beams.
