Abstract
The present application provides an initial, or first, packed arc setup to be compared with predefined arc setup constraints. These predefined arc setup constraints constrain at least one or more of the number of patient table angles per target volume, the number of times the gantry moves along one arc per table angle, the sum of gantry span per metastasis over all arcs, and the minimum table span. Based on the result of the comparison between the first packed arc setup with the predefined arc setup constraints, a second arc setup is automatically suggested. The automatically suggested second arc setup may then be compared with the first arc setup by calculating a score for both setups. Several iterations of such a method can be carried out based on the comparison between an arc setup and the following, subsequent arc setup in the iteration.
