Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus including a hadron therapy device and a magnetic resonance imaging device (MRI). The MRI may be an open MRI for acquiring magnetic resonance data in an MRI imaging volume. A nozzle of the apparatus may be fixed and positioned for directing a beam along a beam path substantially along an axis or substantially perpendicularly to the axis. The apparatus may further include a patient support system adapted for supporting a patient in a non-supine position in the MRI. The present disclosure also relates to methods for adapting a treatment plan to movements of organs resulting from displacement of a patient from a supine position in which treatment plan imaging was performed to a non-supine position in which a treatment will be performed.
