Claim 3:
4. A radiation treatment system that facilitates optimization a multimodal radiation therapy plan employing a combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment, the radiation treatment system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor whereby the radiation treatment system is operative to:
obtain 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;
compare 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;
generate the combined photon beam and electron beam radiation treatment plan utilizing only the established subset of beam types; and
concurrently optimize 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.
