Continuous scanning for particle radiation therapy

At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations to:

• continuously scan a particle beam at a constant rate from a starting point to an ending point;
• determine a plurality of spots located between the starting point and the ending point, wherein each of the plurality of spots corresponds to a distinct location and includes a diameter;
• determine a plurality of beamlets based on the plurality of spots, wherein each of the plurality of beamlet has a nominal diameter that corresponds to a respective spot diameter;
• determine, using an amount of dose to be delivered via each beamlet, a total amount of dose to be delivered;
• generate a line segment having the starting point and the ending point, the line segment having the total amount of dose to be delivered based on the plurality of beamlets;
• and
• output control information corresponding to a uniform meterset of radiation dose using the line segment, the control information configured to cause operation of the particle beam to deliver the radiation dose.
