BACKGROUND: Stereotactic body radiotherapy of thoracic and abdominal tumors has to account for respiratory intrafractional tumor motion. Commonly, an external breathing signal is continuously acquired that serves as a surrogate of the tumor motion an...
PURPOSE: Treatment of patients undergoing prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation includes repeated spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) without respiratory support, whose duration must be balanced critically to prevent over- and underload of re...
OBJECTIVE: To study how Pneumoperitoneum under Trendelenburg position for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery impact the perioperative respiratory parameters, diagrammatic function, etc. METHODS: Patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surger...
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial life-saving technique commonly administered to individuals experiencing cardiac arrest. Among the important aspects of CPR is ensuring the correct airway position of the patient, which is typically mon...

PURPOSE: This work presents the implementation of an RGB-D camera as a surrogate signal for liver respiratory-induced motion estimation. This study aims to validate the feasibility of RGB-D cameras as a surrogate in a human subject experiment and to ...
Breathing temporarily pauses during swallowing, and the occurrence of inspiration before and after these pauses may increase the likelihood of aspiration, a serious health problem in older adults. Therefore, the automatic detection of these pauses wi...

BACKGROUND: This study presents the development of a backpropagation neural network-based respiratory motion modelling method (BP-RMM) for precisely tracking arbitrary points within lung tissue throughout free respiration, encompassing deep inspirati...
Breathing is one of the body's most basic functions and abnormal breathing can indicate underlying cardiopulmonary problems. Monitoring respiratory abnormalities can help with early detection and reduce the risk of cardiopulmonary diseases. In this s...
