receiving treatment information relating to a treatment plan for proton or ion-beam therapy to irradiate a target tissue;
receiving information associated with the proton or ion-beam therapy;
determining, for at least one of at least one spot or at least one energy layer at the target tissue, a beam current for a proton or ion beam based on the treatment information and the information, wherein the beam current is determined by considering a time required to deliver a certain dose to the target tissue; and
generating a control signal to cause a treatment machine to provide the proton or ion beam after the beam current is determined; wherein
the information relates to a parameter involved with an operation of a particle-accelerator of the treatment machine.
