Abstract

Physicians in interventional radiology are exposed to high physical stress. To avoid negative long-term effects resulting from unergonomic working conditions, we demonstrated the feasibility of a system that gives feedback about unergonomic situations arising during the intervention based on the Azure Kinect camera. The overall feasibility of the approach could be shown.

Keywords: Body Posture; Ergonomics; Human Factors; Interventional Radiology.
