Abstract

Example methods and systems for radiotherapy treatment planning based on treatment delivery efficiency are described. One example method may comprise a computer system configuring dosimetric planning objective(s) and non-dosimetric planning objective(s) associated with efficiency of treatment delivery. A set of multiple treatment plan variants may be generated based on the dosimetric planning objective(s) and non-dosimetric planning objective(s). A first treatment plan associated with a first tradeoff and a second treatment plan associated with a second tradeoff may then be identified from the set of multiple treatment plan variants. The second treatment plan may be associated with improved efficiency of treatment delivery compared to the first treatment plan.
