First Claim
Patent Images
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 volumetric 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
calculating using a computer the radiation dose to be delivered to the patient based upon the patient profile and the treatment plan.

Abstract
A system and method of predicting a radiation dose to be delivered to a patient. The method includes the acts of 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.

18. A method of determining a radiation dose to be delivered to a patient, the method comprising:
-
generating a treatment plan for the patient; acquiring a volumetric image of at least a portion of the patient while the patient is substantially in the treatment position; calculating using a computer a plurality of doses that would be delivered to the patient for each of a plurality of patient profiles, each patient profile including the acquired image; and selecting one of the patient profiles for delivery of the treatment plan. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A method of determining a radiation dose to be delivered to a patient, the method comprising:
-
delivering radiation to a patient according to a predetermined treatment plan; acquiring a volumetric image of at least a portion of the patient during delivery of the radiation; calculating using a computer a radiation dose while the radiation is being delivered, the radiation dose based on at least in part on the acquired image; and determining whether to modify delivery of the radiation while the radiation is being delivered. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
