Claim 0:
1. A method of facilitating optimization of a multimodal radiation therapy plan employing a combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment, the method being performed by a radiation treatment system and comprising:
obtaining information related to a set of candidate beam types for the combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment, each candidate beam type of the set of candidate beam types including one or more beam type parameters;
comparing the set of candidate beam types against a selection criterion to establish a subset of beam types from the candidate beam types, wherein the selection criterion imposes a requirement such that only a limited number of beam types qualify as the subset of beam types for subsequent utilization in the combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment plan;
generating the combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment plan utilizing only the established subset of beam types; and
concurrently optimizing a dose delivery from a photon therapy device and an electron therapy device applying the generated combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment plan.
