Abstract
A system for planning a radiation therapy treatment to be performed by a radiation therapy machine includes at least one processor and a memory storing computer executable instructions. The at least one processor is configured to execute the computer executable instructions to cause the system to generate a radiation therapy treatment plan prescribing a plurality of energy layers associated with a plurality of spots in a treatment target. The radiation therapy treatment plan is based on a plurality of minimum monitor unit values, each of which is for a respective energy layer among the plurality of energy layers. Each of the plurality of minimum monitor unit values is based on machine parameters for the radiation therapy machine and/or based on a minimum monitor unit objective function for the radiation therapy machine.
