Abstract

A framework for sensor-based patient treatment support. In accordance with one aspect, one or more sensors are used to acquire sensor data of one or more objects of interest. The sensor data is then automatically interpreted to generate processing results. One or more actions may be triggered based on the processing results to support treatment of a patient, including supporting medical scanning of the patient.
