A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising at least one set of instructions, wherein when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, the at least one set of instructions cause the at least one processor to effectuate a method comprising:

• determining a set of one or more optimization goals for radiation delivery by a therapeutic radiation delivery apparatus;
• determining a plan for radiation delivery from a radiation source of the therapeutic radiation delivery apparatus, the radiation source being capable of continuously rotating around a subject, the plan including a plurality of radiation segments,
• wherein each radiation segment is characterized by at least one parameter selected from a start angle, a stop angle, a two-dimensional segment shape, or a segment MU value such that the plurality of radiation segments meet the set of one or more optimization goals by superimposing at least two radiation segments from at least two different rotations into a target volume of the subject.
