Optimized Camera-Based Patient Positioning in CT
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a 3-dimensional (3D) camera can outperform highly trained technicians in precision of patient positioning and whether this transforms into a reduction in patient exposure. Materials and Methods In a

Rehabilitation of a patient with CNS damage through positioning and transfers
Rehabilitation as a process of return to fitness should take place at every stage of the disease. Stimulation to restore lost motor function should take place all day, including when lying in bed or transferring from one position to another.

Effectiveness of Femoral Nerve Block versus Intravenous Nalbuphine in Positioning of Patients with Intertrochanteric Fractures for Spinal Anaesthesia: A Randomised Clinical Study [PDF]
Introduction: Femoral fracture is a common entity in all age groups. It is more common in elderly, and is a painful condition. Various modalities like peripheral nerve blocks, intravenous opioids can mitigate the pain associated with it, which is ...

Upright patient positioning for pelvic radiotherapy treatments
Highlights • The upright positioning is associated with a reasonable first positioning and repositioning time when 1 RTT was involved, and a much shorter duration when 2 RTT were involved;• The inter-fraction repositioning was on average below 1 mm ...
