Significats de patient positioning en anglès

Background: Pneumoperitoneum and patient positioning are essential factors during laparoscopic surgical procedures.

In this study we assess whether patient positioning affects IVC diameter metrics.

Selected cases are shown, illustrating patient positioning, CT technique, target identification and calculation.

Aspects of motion management and patient positioning are taken into account for PTV definition.

Conclusions: The iMRI-guided brain tumor resection is feasible in combination with semisitting patient positioning.

Of especial importance to the orthopaedic surgeon is the impact of patient positioning on uteroplacental blood flow.

The new patient positioning system ExacTrac is an interesting tool especially for daily CT planning since conventional simulation can be omitted.

The feasibility of daily CT-based 3D treatment planning is studied in a patient with localized prostate carcinoma using a new patient positioning system.

The reference patient positioning DRRs still have to be generated by the BrainLab software from the CT images and isocenter coordinates transferred from Pinnacle.

A secondary aim was to examine whether there is a relationship between patient positioning during surgery and postoperative cognition or serum brain injury biomarker levels.

Purpose: To assess the relative effectiveness of five image-guidance (IG) frequencies on reducing patient positioning inaccuracies and setup margins for locally advanced lung cancer patients.

Patient positioning is the key to identifying any inter-fraction device motion.

Results: Patient positioning as well as preoperative and intraoperative image acquisition could be accomplished.

Patient positioning was readjusted when the preoperative contact pressure was over 32 mm Hg.

Patient positioning on the treatment couch took about 10 minutes.

Patient positioning was done with the BrainLAB ExacTrac positioning system on the basis of skin attached stereotactic body markers.
