Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided a computer-implemented method for determining rotation of a patient's chest in a medical image. The method comprises: receiving the medical image of the patient; processing the medical image to determine scapular spatial data relating to the patient's scapula; and determining rotation of the patient's chest with respect to at least one reference axis using the scapular spatial data.
