According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus for use in detecting malingering by a first subject in a test of physical and/or mental function of the first subject. The apparatus comprises a memory unit configured to store a plurality of models, each model identifies a respective set of physical and/or mental function tests from a plurality of different physical and/or mental function tests that can be used to detect malingering in a subject and that meets one or more possible user requirements for detecting malingering; and a processing unit configured to receive a user input from a user of the apparatus, the received user input indicating a user requirement for detecting malingering in the first subject; following receipt of an indication that the first subject may be malingering in one or more physical and/or mental function tests, retrieve, from the memory unit, the identity of a first set of physical and/or mental function tests for a model that meets the indicated user requirement; and output a control signal to a function testing device indicating the retrieved identity of the first set of physical and/or mental function tests such that the testing device provides the identified first set of physical and/or mental function tests to the first subject completion for completion.

Method and apparatus for use in detecting malingering by a first subject in tests of physical and/or mental function of the first subject

A system and method for radiotherapeutic treatment of a patient () are provided. The system comprises a patient carrier () for receiving the patient (), means for monitoring () positions of at least two different body parts of the patient (), a processor () and feedback means (). The processor () is coupled to the means for monitoring () positions and is operative to analyze the monitored positions to determine, for each body part of the at least two body parts, a displacement of the respective body part with respect to a particular desired position. The feedback means () are coupled to the processor () for interacting with the patient () and to provide feedback concerning the displacement of the respective body part.

System and method for radiotherapeutic treatment

A system and method are provided for use in the assessment of an attentional deficit. During the assessment, a test image is presented to a subject on a display. A camera image is obtained from a camera which is indicative of a geometric relation between the head of the subject and the display during the assessment. The camera image is analyzed to determine a deviation in the geometric relation between the head of the subject and the display from a reference geometric relation. Deviation data is then generated and output which is indicative of the deviation. Advantageous uses of the deviation data include providing visual feedback to the user, adjusting the test image, and taking the deviation into account when processing test data of the assessment. Advantageously, the need for a trained professional to be present during the assessment is reduced or avoided.
