Claim Text:
1. A method of preparing a plan to synchronize delivery of radiation to a target in a patient, wherein the method comprises: (a) obtaining simultaneous imaging data on the patient's breathing and tracking of the target in the patient, wherein the data on the breathing of the patient includes the phase and amplitude of breaths and the data on the tracking of the target includes a location of the target and a shape of the target, (b) correlating the data on the breathing of the patient and the data on the tracking of the target in the patient and optimizing the correlation, whereupon a three-dimensional image of the patient for each phase/amplitude of breath is generated, and (c) establishing optimal parameters for the delivery of radiation by a machine to the target in the patient for each phase/amplitude of breath in view of the optimized correlation of (b), whereupon a look-up table for the plan of synchronizing delivery of radiation to the target in the patient is prepared.
