ToF cameras is the perfect choice for medical imaging applications. 3D image data brings a series of potential applications for medical treatment: such as patient placement and monitoring, physical examination and X-ray diagnosis.
1.Patient placement and monitoring
ToF camera provides the optimal positioning of the patient for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT scan (computer tomography), and compares the point cloud data in the reference image with the point cloud data representing the location of the patient. The purpose of this is to accurately move the patient to the same position as the reference image.
ToF cameras are also used in the intensive care unit. People are replacing traditional monitoring cameras on a large scale because the depth data of ToF cameras allows nurses to monitor the ward and patients from a distance. The ToF camera can detect the position of the patient (even the situation where the patient is covered by objects). Thanks to the excellent algorithm, the camera can find out which patients may have seizures, or warn when suspicious data appears.
ToF measurement technology is also used in X-ray diagnosis to meet the requirements of measuring data to calibrate the correct radiation dose. The X-ray technician manually sets the radiation dose on a standard X-ray machine. The default value is usually selected as the maximum radiation level to ensure the best image.
