Abstract
A method for providing an irradiation plan for irradiation of a target volume, comprises: acquiring a time-resolved 3D image dataset, wherein the 3D image dataset is time-resolved over at least one respiratory cycle of the patient, wherein the 3D image dataset is based on a time-resolved scan of an examination region of the patient and on an imaging respiration profile, wherein the examination region includes the target volume, and wherein the imaging respiration profile is based on a first respiration-correlated surrogate variable determined during the time-resolved scan; acquiring a respiration-correlated second surrogate variable of the patient, wherein the second surrogate variable describes a respiration of the patient during the irradiation; determining an irradiation respiration profile based on the second surrogate variable; determining the irradiation plan based on the 3D image dataset and the irradiation respiration profile; and providing the irradiation plan for an irradiation of the target volume.
