A method, code and system for planning the treatment a lesion on or adjacent to the retina of an eye of a patient are disclosed. There is first established at least two beam paths along which x-radiation is to be directed at the retinal lesion. Based on the known spectral and in-tensity characteristics of the beam, a total treatment time for irradiation along each beam paths is determined. From the coordinates of the optic nerve in the aligned eye po-sition, there is determined the extent and duration of eye movement away from the aligned patient-eye position in a direction that moves the patient's optic nerve toward the ir-radiation beam that will be allowed during treatment, while still maintaining the radiation dose at the patient optic nerve below a predetermined dose level.

La présente invention concerne un procédé, un code et un système permettant de planifier le traitement d'une lésion sur la rétine d'un il, ou à proximité de celle-ci, chez un patient. Au moins deux trajectoires de faisceau, le long desquelles un rayonnement X est dirigé sur la lésion rétinienne, sont d'abord définies. Une durée de traitement totale concernant l'irradiation sur chaque trajectoires de faisceau est déterminée sur la base des caractéristiques spectrales et d'intensité connues du faisceau. À partir des coordonnées du nerf optique dans la position alignée de l'il, on détermine l'ampleur et la durée de la déviation de l'il par rapport à la position alignée de l'il du patient, dans une direction qui déplace le nerf optique du patient vers le faisceau d'irradiation qui sera autorisé pendant traitement. Ceci tout en continuant à maintenir la dose de rayonnement sur le nerf optique du patient au-dessous d'un niveau préétabli.
