Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions for causing a computing system to perform a method of generating a radiation treatment plan, the method comprising:
accessing values of parameters from memory of the computing system, wherein the parameters comprise directions of beams, wherein the directions are such that an amount of the beams that overlap outside a target is less than an amount of the beams that overlap within the target;
accessing information that specifies limits for the radiation treatment plan, wherein the limits comprise a maximum limit on irradiation time for each sub-volume outside the target;
adjusting the values of the parameters until the irradiation time for said each sub-volume outside the target satisfies the maximum limit on irradiation time;
optimizing dose rate constraints for a FLASH therapy; and
displaying a dose rate map of the FLASH therapy.
