Abstract
Computer-implemented methods and systems can be used to facilitate generation of VMAT treatment plans for providing radiation therapy to patients. Starting from a seed plan, a library of alternative plans, each with an associated outcome for a set of treatment objectives, can be generated via a set of parallel optimization operations performed on the seed plan. A graphical user interface is provided, via which the user can navigate within a treatment space defined by the alternative plans to identify a satisfactory outcome. Based on the satisfactory outcome and a candidate plan selected from the alternative plans, a deliverable VMAT treatment plan can be generated using another optimization operation.
