Time-of-flight sensor for respiratory motion gating

In this technical note we present a system that uses time-of-flight (ToF) technology to acquire a real-time multidimensional respiratory signal from a 3D surface reconstruction of the patient's chest and abdomen without the use of markers. Using ToF sensors it is feasible to acquire a 3D model in real time with a single sensor. An advantage of ToF sensors is that their high lateral resolution makes it possible to define multiple regions of...
