Abstract
The present invention relates to prospective analysis of subject and/or implant positioning. Provided is a computer-implemented method for assisting positioning of a subject having an orthopedic implant in X-ray imaging. The method comprises applying one or more radiofrequency, RF, signals to an anatomy of interest of the subject where the orthopedic implant is located. The method further comprises detecting a response signal and/or signal change in response to the applied RF signal impacting the orthopedic implant and tissue being adjacent to and/or surrounding the implant, and determining, from the detected response signal and/or signal change, an implant positioning estimation relative to an X-ray imaging device. Further, the method comprises determining, from the implant positioning estimation, a feedback being indicative for positioning the X-ray imaging device and the subject to each other with respect to a target positioning, to be provided for assisting the positioning.
