Abstract:
The field of workflow analysis aims to analyze limiting factors during medical procedures, and improve cost-efficiency and patient wellbeing [1, 2, 3]. We aim to automate Workflow Analysis in the Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab), where we recorded 300 Cardiac AngioGram procedures from 5 different viewpoints for this purpose. One feature that is very descriptive of personnel activity---and therefore workflow---are the positions and poses of people in the room over time [4, 5, 6, 7]. Therefore, we start by testing several pose detection algorithms [8, 9, 10] in a qualitative manner. We pick clinically interesting and technically challenging situations from our dataset and evaluate how each algorithm performs. We conclude with the up- and downsides of each algorithm, and a recommendation of which one to use in a clinical environment.
