Abstract: These teachings provide for accessing stored patient surface information for a given patient and geometry information for a patient support setting. These teachings then provide for generating a patient-position solution that will avoid collisions during a subsequent administration of radiation treatment as a function, at least in part, of that patient service information and the geometry information. That patient-position solution is presented via a user interface in conjunction with conducting at least one simulation scan of the given patient using the patient support setting. To avoid collisions, these teachings will also support an option to modify the treatment plan rather than the patient position using the patient image model shown in the user interface.
