Abstract:
We have proposed an in-bore audio-visual respiratory coaching projector for use with ring gantry linacs and four-dimensional computed tomography (4D CT) systems. A respiratory coaching application was installed on a commercially available mobile projector that includes a computer. The projector was placed on a patient couch, with the projected movie displayed on the inner wall of the bore. The workflow was tested using a ring gantry linac as well as a 4D CT unit, and the results demonstrated the feasibility and practicality of the proposed approach.

Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...
Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...
