The present invention relates to a fast and accurate method for calculating fluence of a calculation plane over a patient. According to an embodiment of the present invention, only a subset of the collimator leaves are analyzed for the fluence calculation, thus reducing the number of calculations required. Additionally, pre-integrated values of scatter strips, associated with each point of the calculation plane, may be referenced in a lookup table. The use of these pre-integrated values allows the avoidance of adding the fluence contribution of each square on the scattering plane. Rather, pre-calculated values of a subset of the scattering plane (scatter strip) may be referenced and combined, thus reducing the number of calculations required for a final scatter contribution to a point on the calculation plane. Further, the thickness of the collimator leaves is considered in the fluence calculation, thus providing a more accurate model for the scatter contributions of points on the scattering plane.
