1. A method of x-ray imaging, comprising:
positioning a patient at a first orientation relative to an x-ray imaging source;
using a 3D imaging technique, distinct from x-ray imaging, to measure one or more positions of the patient's chest;
while using the 3D imaging technique to measure the one or more positions of the patient's chest:
generating a model of the patient's chest using the one or more positions of the patient's chest;
updating the model of the patient's chest as the patient breathes; and
obtaining an x-ray image of the patient's chest, including exposing the patient to a dose of radiation using the x-ray imaging source that is calculated using the model of the patient's chest.
