Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a low-cost respiratory motion monitoring system based on the Microsoft KINECT sensor. METHODS: The authors increased KINECT's inherent depth resolution from 1 cm to 1 mm via a motion magnification system. Using the KINECT software development kit, the authors programmed the KINECT to capture depth images and determine the average depth over a thoracic region of interest, viewed almost parallel to the subject's surface. KINECT respiratory traces (average depth vs time at a rate of 30 Hz) were acquired from four volunteers and compared with those simultaneously acquired using a commercially available strain gauge respiratory gating system. RESULTS: The correlation coefficient (CC) between KINECT and strain gauge traces varied from 0.958 to 0.978, with a mean CC of 0.969. This strong correlation was also demonstrated by the joint probability distribution and visual inspection. CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to use the KINECT for respiratory motion tracking. Traces are similar to those of a clinically used strain gauge system. The KINECT-based system provides a new and economical way to monitor respiratory motion.
