Abstract
A computer-implemented method for radiation treatment planning, the method comprising: receiving a reference dose value, wherein the reference dose value is a defined maximum radiation dose within a first region for radiation treatment in a patient; applying an optimization procedure to a treatment plan for radiation treatment of the patient, wherein the optimization procedure seeks to minimize a cost function which is representative of a dose excess value above the reference dose value; and responsive to determining that the dose excess value is below a threshold value: decreasing the reference dose value; and reapplying the optimization procedure to the treatment plan, wherein the optimization procedure seeks to minimize the cost function based on the decreased reference dose value.
