Abstract
The invention relates to a system for planning a radiation therapy treatment. The system obtains a first treatment plan generated in accordance with values of parameters quantifying an amount of radiation provided by radiation components, obtains an instruction to change a radiation dose delivered to at least one volume element, and directly calculates, for each of the radiation components, a change of the amount of radiation provided by the radiation component based on the instruction and based on the contribution of the radiation component to the radiation dose delivered to the at least one volume element. In order to observe upper and/or lower thresholds of the parameter values, the updated parameter values are calculated by iteratively adding the determined changes to the parameter values until a parameter value reaches the threshold or until the desired dose change is realized.
