Joint Scene and Object Tracking for Cost-Effective Augmented Reality Assisted Patient Positioning in Radiation Therapy [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The research done in the field of Augmented Reality (AR) for patient positioning in radiation therapy is scarce. We propose an efficient and cost-effective algorithm for tracking the scene and the patient to interactively assist the patient's positioning process by providing visual feedback to the operator. Up to our knowledge,

Patient Position in Operative Endoscopy
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023 It is well known by surgeons that patient positioning is fundamental to exposing the organs when performing an operation via laparoscopy, as gravity can help move the organs and facilitate the exposure of the surgical site. But is it also important for endoscopic procedures?
