This radiotherapy device comprises: an X-ray irradiation device and an X-ray camera for detecting the position of a specific landmark present in an irradiation target; a storage unit which, with one from among a plurality of time-lapse three-dimensional CT images including the landmark and obtained beforehand during treatment planning used as a reference images, stores the relationship between the displacement of the landmark position from that in the reference image to that in another three-dimensional CT image, and the deformation of each of the sites in the other CT image, obtained by analysis thereof; and an image processing unit, a deformation amount evaluation unit, and a display unit, that estimate the deformation of each of the sites and reproduce the estimated three-dimensional CT image, according to the position of the landmark detected and the relationship stored by the storage unit.
A radiotherapy apparatus comprising:
A radiotherapy method in which a therapeutic radiation is irradiated onto an irradiation target, the method comprising:
