Assessment of the Body Posture of Interventional Radiologists

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 May 25:294:809-810. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220591.

Abstract

Physicians in interventional radiology are exposed to high physical stress. To avoid negative long-term effects resulting from unergonomic working conditions, we demonstrated the feasibility of a system that gives feedback about unergonomic situations arising during the intervention based on the Azure Kinect camera. The overall feasibility of the approach could be shown.
