1. A computer-implemented method for determining rotation of a patient's chest in a medical image, the method comprising:
receiving the medical image of the patient;
processing the medical image to determine scapular spatial data relating to the patient's scapulae;
determining rotation of the patient's chest with respect to at least one reference axis using the scapular spatial data; and
prior to determining the rotation, performing a sanity check by processing the scapular spatial data to confirm symmetry of the patient's scapulae.
