Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Adult patients (= 18 years) with planned CT, PET/CT, or SPECT/CT scans at Augsburg University Hospital. - The planned tomographic scan includes at least half of the abdomen and/or thorax, ideally also the head. - A previous CT scan of the abdomen and/or thorax is available.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Patients whose previous CT scan did not include the abdomen/thorax region. - Patients whose upcoming CT, PET/CT, or SPECT/CT scan does not include at least half of the abdomen/thorax.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Pose reconstruction compared to a “ground truth” obtained from the CT scan achieves an accuracy of less than 1 cm. - The detection rate of relevant movements during the tomographic scan based on multimodal sensor data is over 95%. - Similarity of the current pose compared to the pose in previous examinations of the same patient, measured using registration algorithms on the deformation field, can be improved by 50% compared to historical cohorts. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The accuracy of the automated estimation of body weight, compared to the currently measured body weight, reaches 90%. - Classification quality of the automatically recognized positioning (e.g., supine/prone, head first/feet first), measured in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy compared to a manually recorded ground truth, reaches 95%. - The agreement of the selected scan area based on automated determination compared to the CT topogram using IoU (intersection over union) is over 80%. | — |
