Claim 13:
14. A system for performing a treatment fraction of radiation therapy, the system comprising:
an X-ray imaging device;
a treatment-delivering X-ray source configured to direct treatment X-rays to a target volume of patient anatomy;
an imaging X-ray source configured to direct imaging X-rays through the target volume and toward the X-ray imager; and
a processor configured to:
determine a current position of the target volume;
based on the current position of the target volume, compute an accumulated dose for tissue disposed within the target volume;
determine that the accumulated dose is less than a current dose budget of the tissue; and
in response to the accumulated dose being less than the current dose budget, cause the treatment-delivering X-ray source to apply a treatment beam to the target volume while the target volume is in the current position.
