Claim:
1. A method for generating a robust radiation treatment plan for a treatment volume of a subject, said treatment volume being defined using a plurality of voxels, the method comprising, at a processor: retrieving an initial voxel-specific dose objective defining an initial dose objective dose value for each of a number of voxels in the treatment volume, the initial voxel-specific dose objective corresponding to a desired heterogeneous dose in said treatment volume; retrieving a distance corresponding to a desired robustness; determining an adjusted dose objective dose value for a voxel of the number of voxels, comprising performing the following steps a)-c): repeating steps a)-c) to determine adjusted dose objective dose values for each of the plurality of voxels of the treatment volume; determining an adjusted voxel-specific dose objective for said treatment volume at least partly based on said adjusted dose objective dose values; and generating a radiation treatment plan at least partly on the basis of said adjusted voxel-specific dose objective.
