Accurate Treatment

AbstractIn radiotherapy of abdominal and thoracic tumors, respiratory motion is a problem for an accurate treatment. Most current motion compensation techniques rely on externally acquired breathing signals of the patient. The systems in clinical use usually work with 1D surface motion signals to describe internal structure respiratory motion patterns. As a 1D signal is not able to describe complex motion patterns and breathing variations, in this work the Microsoft Kinect, which can record multidimensional respiratory surface motion signals, is proposed to be used instead. For the Kinect, a clinically acceptable measurement setup is designed and Kinect measurements are compared to the Varian RPM system (clinical standard). The results show that the signals are well aligned. An additional comparison of Kinect signals from different regions of interest on the chest further reveals variations between them. This illustrates that the use of a system that provides multidimensional signals is worthwhile; the knowledge about breathing variations could be applied for optimization of current clinical workflows.

Physiologic Data

Abstract Although certain speech development milestones are readily observable, the developmental course of speech motor control is largely unknown. However, recent advances in facial motion tracking systems have been used to investigate articulator movements in children and the findings from these studies are being used to further our understanding of the physiologic basis of typical and disordered speech development. Physiologic work has revealed that the emergence of speech is highly dependent on the lack of flexibility in the early oromotor system. It also has been determined that the progression of speech motor development is non-linear, a finding that has motivated researchers to investigate how variables such as oromotor control, cognition, and linguistic factors affect speech development in the form of catalysts and constraints. Physiologic data are also being used to determine if non-speech oromotor behaviors play a role in the development of speech. This improved understanding of the physiology underlying speech, as well as the factors influencing its progression, helps inform our understanding of speech motor control in children with disordered speech and provide a framework for theory-driven therapeutic approaches to treatment.
