Abstract
A method of controlling a radiotherapy device, a computer readable medium and a radiotherapy device are disclosed. The radiotherapy device includes a radiation source coupled to a rotation means. The method includes applying radiation to a subject using the radiation source and rotating the radiation source around the subject using the rotation means according to a first fixed rotation scheme. The method further includes, during execution of the first fixed rotation scheme, determining that the subject is in a suboptimal position, pausing application of the radiation by the radiation source and logging a first angle of rotation of the radiation source at which application of the radiation is paused.
