Abstract
Some aspects include a system, apparatus, and method for obtaining a burst mode treatment plan to be administered by a radiotherapy device, the burst mode treatment plan prescribing parameters for one or more dynamic axes, parameters for one or more static axes, and position parameters for the one or more dynamic axes corresponding to a prescribed delivery period of burst mode irradiation; receiving an indication of occurrences of a substantially periodic treatment opportunity for a target volume of a patient from a gating device, the treatment opportunity being a period of time the target volume is in a position to be irradiated according to the burst mode treatment plan; synchronizing the treatment opportunity and the prescribed delivery period of burst mode irradiation; and irradiating the target volume during the synchronization of the treatment opportunity and the prescribed delivery period of burst mode irradiation.
