Claim One:
1. A method for imaging tissue in a body volume for treatment of the tissue with a surgical device, the method comprising the steps of: collecting baseline image data associated with the body volume using an imaging device; creating an image from the baseline image data; displaying the image on a display screen; selecting at least one tissue target in the body volume for treatment; collecting a series of respiration image data associated with the tissue target during a single respiration cycle of the body volume; tracking the tissue target movement across the series of respiration image data during the single respiration cycle; determining a dwell position of the tissue target as a function of the tissue target movement across the series of respiration image data; creating a dwell position image using the series of respiration image data collected while the tissue target is located at the dwell position; and displaying the dwell position image.
