METHOD AND MEDICAL IMAGING APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING AT LEAST ONE PATIENT-SPECIFIC SAFETY PARAMETER FOR A MEDICAL IMAGING EXAMINATION

摘要

In a method and apparatus for determining at least one patient-specific safety parameter for a medical imaging examination conducted on the patient by a medical imaging device, position data of the patient are acquired by a position data detector while the patient is on a patient-positioning device of the medical imaging apparatus. The acquired position data are evaluated in a processor in order to determine position information of the patient. The patient-specific safety parameter is determined using the position information of the patient.

1. A method for determining at least one patient-specific safety parameter for a medical imaging examination conducted on a patient by a medical imaging apparatus, said method comprising:
with a position data acquisition detector, acquiring position data of the patient while the patient is situated on a patient-positioning device of the medical imaging apparatus; transmitting the acquired position data to a safety parameter determining processor; in said safety parameter determining processor, evaluating the acquired position data to obtain position information of the patient; and in said safety parameter determining processor, determining a patient-specific safety parameter using the position information, and making the patient-specific safety parameter available in electronic form from the safety parameter determining processor.
