Abstract
A radiation planning system includes a dose volume kernel determiner () and an expected absorbed dose determiner (). The dose volume kernel determiner () generates a dose volume kernel for each of a plurality of voxels in a dose calculation grid. Each of the dose volume kernels is based on a radial dose distribution and a template function for a particular voxel size. The expected absorbed dose determiner () determines an expected absorbed dose distribution for each of the plurality of voxels based on the dose volume kernel.
