Perfect peds chest x-ray

This project has been secured to protect intellectual property.

Design a device that displays the respiratory patterns of an infant patient to an X-ray technician.

Project Overview

The Perfect Peds team aims to design and fabricate an instrument to capture an X-ray image for a neonatal patient at the moment of deep inspiration. The setup will include a sensor to detect the patient's breathing patterns, software to determine the moment of deep inspiration, and a way to display the signal before the radiation technician takes the picture.
