摘要:
Method for irradiation planning of a target volume (34) with a scanned particle beam (20), involving the steps of: defining a target volume (34) arranged inside a body (77), dividing the target volume (34) into a plurality of individually approachable target points (30), defining a number of chronologically consecutive partial irradiation plans, dividing the target points (30) of the target volume (34) into partial quantities (A, B, C, D) on the partial irradiation plans, the partial quantities (A, B, C, D) being distributed along the entire target volume (34), and mutually adjacent target points (30) of the target volume (34) being respectively assigned to different partial irradiation plans.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method (19) by which the dose entering an object (2), which is to be irradiated with an energetic particle beam (3), is determined during the application of the radiation. The doses entering the object are determined in volume areas (6, 14, 15) lying outside the target volume area (5) in each case irradiated by the energetic particle beam (3). To determine the dose entering the object, a calculation function is used that is at least partially based on a physical model of the energetic particle beam (3).
