Abstract
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.
