Abstract

Radiotherapy delivers high doses of radiation to localized areas necessitating precise motion management and positioning verification. Microsoft Kinect v2 (Kv2) is an affordable Red Green Blue Depth (RGB-D) camera that uses advanced time of flight technology with potential application for patient set up verification of radiotherapy treatments. This readily available and relatively inexpensive technology has opportunity for development as an affordable solution for patient set up verification in developing countries. This report outlines necessary information and provides useful sources for beginning a radiotherapy Kv2 project. There are extensive resources available for both versions of the Kinect making it difficult to isolate the pertinent information. The goal is to reduce the learning curve associated with beginning a Kv2 radiotherapy project.
