Automated patient positioning in CT using a 3D camera for body contour detection: accuracy in pediatric patients.
Johan W BooijMarcel van StratenAndreas WimmerRicardo P J BuddePublished in: European radiology (2020)
• A 3D camera for body contour detection allows for automated and accurate pediatric patient positioning in CT. • A 3D camera outperformed radiographers in positioning pediatric patients without a fixation aid in CT. • Positioning of pediatric patients with fixation aid was feasible using the 3D camera, but no definite conclusions were drawn regarding the positioning accuracy due to the small sample size.
