Abstract
The present invention relates to a radiotherapy planning system () for determining a solution () corresponding to a fluence profile. The invention proposes to use a Pareto frontier navigator () to select the best plan from a set of various auto-planned solutions. An interactive graphical user interface () is provided to the planner to navigate among convex combinations of auto-planned solutions. This proposed Pareto plan navigation can be considered as a further optional refinement process, which can be applied to find the best plan in those cases where auto-generated solutions are not fully satisfying the planner's requirements. The navigation tool () moves locally through a set of auto-generated plans and can potentially simplify the planner's decision making process and reduce the whole planning time on complex clinical cases from several hours to minutes.
