Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for radiation dose delivery, the method comprising: generating, by a processor, a radiation therapy plan, wherein the radiation therapy plan includes a plurality of radiation doses; acquiring, by the processor, a pre-treatment 3D image representation of a target volume and non-target volumes; determining, by the processor, a contour and position of the target volume and at least one non-target volume based on the pre-treatment image representation; by the processor, controlling a radiation therapy apparatus to deliver the radiation dose, wherein the radiation dose includes a plurality of radiation beam trajectories and at least one radiation beam geometry; during administering the radiation dose, with the processor, controlling a magnetic resonance diagnostic imaging device to generate 2D intra-treatment image representations and 1D navigator pulses; and determining, by the processor, an actual radiation dose delivered to each region of the target volume and the at least one non-target volume based on the pre-treatment image representation, the 2D intra-treatment image representations, and the 1D navigator pulses, the radiation beam trajectories, and the at least one radiation beam geometry.
