What is it about?

Skull radiography, an assessment method for initial diagnosis and post-operative follow-up, requires substantial retaking of various types of radiographs. In this study, we propose a method that estimates patient's angle from radiographs.

Why is it important?

During retaking, a radiologic technologist estimates a patient's rotation angle from the radiograph by comprehending the relationship between the radiograph and the patient's angle for adequate assessment, which requires extensive experience.

Perspectives

These findings suggest that a patient's angle can be accurately estimated from a radiograph using deep learning leading to reduce retaking time, and then used to facilitate skull radiography.
