PURPOSE: In-bed motion monitoring has become of great interest for a variety of clinical applications. Image-based approaches could be seen as a natural non-intrusive approach for this purpose; however, video devices require special challenging setti...
PURPOSE: Robotic stabilization of a therapeutic radiation beam with respect to a dynamically moving tumor target can be accomplished either by moving the radiation source, the patient, or both. As the treatment beam is on during this process, the pri...
The further exploration of the capacitive ECG (cECG) is hindered by frequent fluctuations in signal quality from body movement and changes in sleep position. The processing framework must be fundamentally adapted to make full use of this signal. Ther...
