Claim:
1. An automatic process of predictive determination, as a digital simulation, of a position and movements of skin of a human or animal subject in a zone of interest located at a level of a thorax or an abdomen, with said subject being stretched on said subject's back and breathing, said process comprising: in a preliminary phase, acquiring or determining multiple positions and configurations of a profile of the skin in predetermined, consecutive axial planes that are essentially perpendicular to the craniocaudal axis and distributed along the craniocaudal axis at determined locations, at given successive times, in different respiratory positions, during inhalation and exhalation phases of the subject, during a preliminary treatment phase, constructing at least one independent deformable digital model of the profile of the skin in each said axial plane (Pa) from data pertaining to different skin profiles ( noting, in a repetitive manner, an actual position of a point or a specific point zone ( providing, essentially in real time, a simulation ( wherein the points or specific point zones (
