Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- using a processor to perform the steps of;
acquiring a first image of a portion of a body, the first image representing the portion during a first phase of motion;
acquiring a second image of the portion of the body, the second image representing the portion during a second phase of motion;
generating a composite image based on the first image and the second image, the composite image indicating a position of a target during the first phase of motion and a position of the target during the second phase of motion;
identifying a target region based on the composite image;
confirming a location of the target region to apply radiation by;
superimposing an overlay over a first image portion of the composite image;
superimposing the overlay over a second image portion of the composite image; and
determining a delineation of the target region based on the superimposed overlay over the first image portion and the superimposed overlay over the second image portion.

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory storing processor-executable process steps; and a processor in communication with the memory and operative in conjunction with the stored process steps to; generate a composite image based on a first image of a portion of a body, the first image representing the portion during a first phase of motion and a second image of the portion of the body, the second image representing the portion during a second phase of motion, the composite image indicating a position of a target during the first phase of motion and a position of the target during the second phase of motion; identify a target region based on the composite image; and confirm a location of the target region to apply radiation by superimposing an overlay over a first image portion of the composite image, superimposing the overlay over a second image portion of the composite image, and determining a delineation of the target region based on the superimposed overlay over the first image portion and the superimposed overlay over the second image portion. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
