Abstract

Disclosed herein is a medical device for tracking movement of a region of a patient's body. The region has a range of motion, for example a range of respiratory motion. The device comprises a controller configured to determine a motion of the region based on one or more initial images depicting at least part of the region. The controller is further configured to predict, based on the determined motion, a motion event time at which at least one property associated with the motion or position of the region will meet at least one criterion, wherein the at least one criterion comprises the region being located at a particular point in its range of motion. The controller is further configured to determine, based on the predicted motion event time, at least one subsequent image capture time at which at least one subsequent image should be captured.
