Summary

A computational model has been created to estimate the abdominal depth of a patient from a single x-ray image. The model has been tested using phantoms and found to be accurate; this study aims to test the accuracy of the model with patients and in a clinical setting. This will be achieved by enrolling patient's who have already been referred for an anterior-posterior abdomen x-ray examination to the trial, taking a physical measurement of their anterior-posterior abdominal depth and then comparing this measured value with a value as estimated using the computational model based on the patient's x-ray image.
