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.
