Claim 17:
18. A system for performing adaptive radiotherapy, the system comprising:
an imaging system configured to detect a motion state of a subject;
a therapeutic system configured to apply radiation to the subject; and
a computing device configured to control the imaging system and the therapeutic system to perform radiotherapy on the subject, the computing device having one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
detect, using the imaging system, a motion signature of the subject;
identify a predetermined motion signature with which the detected motion signature is correlated;
select a predetermined 3D motion state that corresponds to the identified predetermined motion signature; and
adapt the radiotherapy, via the therapeutic system, based on the selected 3D motion state so as to account for motion of the subject during radiotherapy and increase a proportion of radiation applied to a target relative to tissue surrounding the target.
