Vision-based Control of a Soft Robot for Maskless Head and Neck Cancer Radiotherapy
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Preserved Fulltext
This work presents an on-going investigation of the control of a pneumatic soft-robot actuator addressing accurate patient positioning systems in maskless head and neck cancer radiotherapy. ...
We then use the model to design a linear quadratic Gaussian feedback controller to manipulate the patient head position based on sensed head pitch motion. ...
INTRODUCTION This paper presents a continuation of our investigation of an image-guided soft robot patient positioning system for use in head and neck (H&N) cancer radiotherapy (RT). ...

Precise patient positioning is fundamental to successful removal of malignant tumors during treatment of head and neck cancers. ...
We validate Soft-NeuroAdapt on a 3D printed head-and-neck dummy, and demonstrate that the controller provides adaptive actuation that compensates for intrafractional deviations in patient positioning. ...
INTRODUCTION Radiation-based treatment of head and neck (H&N) cancers often involve intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), which modulate radiation dosage and shaping of treatment beam to the precise ...
