Automated 3D thorax model generation using handheld video-footage.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeFor the visualization of pulmonary ventilation with Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) most devices use standard reconstruction models, featuring common thorax dimensions and predetermined electrode locations. Any discrepancies between the available model and the patient in terms of body shape and electrode position lead to incorrectly displayed impedance distributions. This work addresses that problem by presenting and evaluating a method for 3D model generation of the thorax and any affixed electrodes based on handheld video-footage.
methodsTherefore, a process was developed, providing users with the ability to capture a patient's chest and the attached electrodes via smartphone. Once data is collected, extracted images are used to generate a 3D model with a structure from motion approach and locate electrodes with ArUco markers. For the evaluation of the developed method, multiple tests were performed in laboratory environments, which were compared with manually created reference models and differences quantified based on mean distance, standard deviation, and maximum distance.
resultsThe implemented workflow allows for automated model reconstruction based on videos or selected images captured with a handheld device. It generates sparse point clouds from which a surface mesh is reconstructed and returns relative coordinates of any identified ArUco marker. The average value for the mean distance error of two model generations was 5.4 mm while the mean standard deviation was 6.0 mm. The average runtime of twelve reconstructions was 5:17 min, with a minimal runtime of 3:22 min and a maximal runtime of 7:29 min.
conclusionThe presented methods and results show that model reconstruction of a patient's thorax and applied electrodes at an emergency site is feasible with already available devices. This is a first step toward the automated generation of patient-specific reconstruction models for Electrical Impedance Tomography based on images recorded with handheld devices.
