4-D tomotherapy treatment outcomes for lung cancer depend on the stability and repeatability of a patient’s breathing pattern. A portable patient training system is desired to allow more practice for the patients. The portable device will measure a patient breathing pattern; the portable pocket PC displays the guiding cycles and provides feedback on the patient’s current breathing curve.
This project will continue as a BME 402 project in the spring 2005 semester.
