Claim 15:
16. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable storage media coupled to the one or more of the processors, the one or more computer-readable storage media including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to
receive treatment information relating to a treatment plan for proton or ion-beam therapy to irradiate a target tissue,
receive information associated with the proton or ion-beam therapy,
determine, for at least one spot or at least one energy layer at the target tissue, a beam current for a proton or ion beam based on the treatment information and the information, wherein the beam current is determined by considering a time required to deliver a certain dose to the target tissue, and
generate a control signal to cause a treatment machine to provide the proton or ion beam after the beam current is determined, wherein
the information relates to a parameter involved with an operation of a particle-accelerator of the treatment machine.
