Abstract:
1. A method comprising: identifying a first sequence of patient positions each corresponding to a time slot based on an ideal movement model, an initial phase probability model, and a dynamic transition model; identifying a second sequence of patient positions each corresponding to a time slot based on the ideal movement model, the initial phase probability model, and the dynamic transition model; specifying a first probability for the first sequence of patient positions; specifying a second probability for the second sequence of patient positions; receiving a first dosage delivery model specifying a dosage level and a location corresponding to each time slot; calculating a first accumulated dosage for the first sequence of patient positions based on the first dosage delivery model; calculating a second accumulated dosage for the second sequence of patient positions based on the first dosage delivery model, wherein the act of calculating the second accumulated dosage is performed using a processor; correlating the first probability of the first sequence of patient positions to the first accumulated dosage; and correlating the second probability of the second sequence of patient positions to the second accumulated dosage.
