1. A single treatment simulator system comprising:
- a treatment planning component to receive a treatment plan, the received treatment plan including a first reconstructed radiograph image data;
a simulation component to simulate an execution of the treatment plan on a patient, the simulation component comprising a cone-beam computed tomography scanner to generate a second reconstructed radiograph image data, wherein the simulation compares the first and second reconstructed radiograph image data;
a third component to adjust, if necessary, the treatment plan based on the simulated execution of the treatment plan; and
a fourth component to save an adjustment to the treatment plan, wherein adjusting the treatment plan comprises displaying at the single treatment simulator system, a digital image of the patient, and wherein displaying the digital image includes overlaying a simulator digital image and a reconstructed radiograph image.

Abstract
A treatment planning, simulation, and verification system is described. According to one embodiment, a treatment plan and a fluoroscopy data image of a treatment volume are received and the treatment plan is automatically adjusted based on the movement of the fluoroscopy data image. According another embodiment, a system includes a treatment planning component to generate a treatment plan and a simulation component to simulate the execution of the treatment plan.
