Abstract
A system includes determination of a treatment plan for delivering convergent radiation to a target based at least on a decrease in intensity of the convergent radiation due to material intercepted by the convergent radiation prior to reaching the target and on an increase in intensity of the convergent radiation due to a geometry of the convergent radiation. Some aspects include determination of a dose enhancement at the target over time due to contrast agent located at the target, wherein the determination of the treatment plan is based at least on the dose enhancement over time.
