Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a system that uses off the shelf ranging technology (distance cameras) to acquire a real-time multidimensional respiratory signal from a 3D surface reconstruction of the patient´s chest and abdomen without the use of markers. The preliminary measurements are discussed within the context of the use of such a system with an existing CT scanner.
