Video: Patient Positioning Measurement with 3D Vision

Patient positioning is critical for certain medical procedures, like image-guided radiotherapy and radiological exams, where the patient must remain exactly in a planned position to administer treatment and acquire images for diagnosis. Advanced 3D machine vision technology, like the 3D-A5000 system from Cognex, generates images that can be used by medical professionals to achieve sub-millimetric accuracy in measuring a patient’s positioning in such treatments.
