METHOD OF AND SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING DOSE DELIVERY
First Claim
1. A method of predicting a radiation dose delivered to a patient in the delivery of a treatment plan to the patient, the patient having a profile, the method comprising:
- generating a first image of at least a portion of the patient;
defining a treatment plan for the patient;
generating a second image of at least a portion of the patient while the patient is substantially in a treatment position;
updating the patient profile with the second image; and
predicting the radiation dose to be delivered to the patient based upon the patient profile and the treatment plan.
