There is provided a computer-implemented method for determining rotation of a patient's chest in a medical image. The method comprises: receiving the medical image of the patient; processing the medical image to determine scapular spatial data relating to the patient's scapula; and determining rotation of the patient's chest with respect to at least one reference axis using the scapular spatial data.

A system (PPS) for patient positioning in imaging or radiation therapy. The system comprises a transmitter (TX). The transmitter (TX) is configured to generate an outgoing signal capable of inducing, from a distance, a haptic sensation at an impact region (IRE) on the patient's skin. The system further comprises a control logic (CL) configured to modify the outgoing signal in response to a received input request or in dependence on a distance between a current position of a region of interest (ROI) of the patient (PAT) and a target area (TA) in an imaging apparatus or in a radiation therapy apparatus.

The invention concerns an optical arrangement for an X-ray system for determining a patient position and/or a patient rotation of a patient to be X-rayed by the X-ray system, an X-ray system comprising such optical arrangement, a system for controlling and a method for determining a patient position and/or a patient rotation. The optical arrangement comprises a laser source, and a detector vertically spaced apart from each other. The laser source is configured for emitting a horizontal laser line onto the patient, the detector is configured for detecting a course of the laser line emitted onto the patient. An analysing unit configured for determining the patient position and/or the patient rotation of the patient, based on an analysis of the detected course of the laser line. The analysing unit is configured for validating whether the determined patient position and/or patient rotation of the patient corresponds to a predetermined reference parameter, and wherein the analysing unit is configured for generating a feedback signal based on a result of the validation.

The invention discloses an apparatus for stroke characterization. The apparatus comprises a processor. The processor is configured to receive image data representing a three-dimensional image of a head of a subject; identify a region within the image data corresponding to bone in the head of the subject; apply an adjustment to the image data to compensate for effects resulting from radiation scattered from the bone during acquisition of the image data; generate a two-dimensional image based on the adjusted image data; and provide the generated two-dimensional image as an input to a predictive model to identify a region of interest for stroke characterization in the two-dimensional image.

There is provided a computer-implemented method () for obscuring one or more facial features of a subject in an image. A head of the subject is detected in the image () and a location of one or more facial features of the subject is identified in the image (). A region of the image to modify is determined based on the location of the one or more facial features (). The determined region comprises a part of the head on which the one or more facial features are located. The image within the determined region is modified to obscure the one or more facial features ().
