Abstract
Systems and methods for proton therapy treatment planning can include a treatment planning system determining positions of a plurality of energy layers across a dimension of a planning target volume (PTV) along a proton field direction, such that each pair of consecutive energy layers are spaced by a distance that is proportional to a width of a Bragg peak corresponding to at least one energy layer of the pair of energy layers. The treatment planning system can generate a proton therapy plan for irradiating the PTV according to the sequence of energy layers.
