Patent ID: 10946218

Abstract:
A method for controlling a medical apparatus (100) includes receiving a treatment plan (168) specifying a target volume (146) within an imaging volume (138) and a dose rate of radiation emitted by a radiotherapy apparatus (102). The medical apparatus (100) repeatedly acquires the motion tracking magnetic resonance data and the image magnetic resonance data using an interleaved pulse sequence. The radiotherapy apparatus (102) is controlled to radiate the target volume (146) in accordance with the treatment plan (168). A dose distribution map descriptive of a radiation dose received by the subject (144) from the radiotherapy apparatus (102) is calculated using the motion tracking magnetic resonance data, and the treatment plan (168). A diagnostic image is reconstructed using the image magnetic resonance data. A display displays the diagnostic image and the dose distribution map. Treatment plan update data is received from a user interface and the treatment plan (168) is updated in accordance with the treatment plan update data.
