Abstract
In order to provide radiation dose estimation during a treatment, one or more characteristics of the patient are used. A camera captures the patient so that the characteristics (e.g., organ position) may be derived. Radiation exposure and/or absorption are determined from the characteristics. A Monte Carlo, machine-learnt, or other model estimates the dosage for different locations in the patient. During the treatment, the dosage may be presented as a warning when exceeding a threshold or other visualization.
