A method 42 for adjusting a radiation dose during imaging of an object 12 within a subject 14 is provided. The method 42 includes identifying 44 a task in a first frame 36 that contains the object 12, the first frame 36 generated 50 via exposing the subject 14 to a radiation beam 24 and adjusting 46 the radiation beam 24 based at least in part on the task prior to generating 48 a second frame 40 that contains the object 12, the second frame 40 generated 48 via exposing the subject 14 to the radiation beam 24.
