Includes bibliographical references. X-rays have played a vital role in both the medical and security sectors. However, there is a limit to the amount of radiation a body can receive before it becomes a health risk. Modern low dose x-ray devices operate using a c-arm which moves across the entire human body. This research reduces the radiation applied to the human body by isolating the region that needs exposure. The medical scanner that this work is based on is still under development and therefore a prototype of the scanner is developed for running simulations. A camera is attached onto the prototype and used to point out the regions that are required to be scanned. This is both faster and more accurate than the traditional method of manually specifying the areas. 2015-01-11T04:42:42Z 2015-01-11T04:42:42Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12027 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
