Some aspects include a system (100) and method (500) for receiving (510) an indication of occurrences of a substantially periodic treatment opportunity for a target volume of a patient from a motion detection device, the treatment opportunity being a period of time the target volume is in a position to be irradiated according to a burst mode treatment plan to be administered by a radiotherapy device; determining (S515) a future treatment opportunity for a target volume of a patient; beginning synchronization (S520) of a prescribed delivery period of burst mode irradiation and the future treatment opportunity; presenting (S535), to the patient, an indication of timing data indicative of a time until the prescribed delivery period of burst mode irradiation will occur; and irradiating (S545) the target volume during the synchronization of the future treatment opportunity and the prescribed delivery period of burst mode irradiation.
