摘要

The present invention relates to guiding in positioning a region of interest of a patient for X ray image acquisition. In order to improve and facilitate positioning of a patient for X ray image acquisitions an X ray imaging guiding system (10) for positioning a patient for X ray image acquisitions is provided comprising an X ray detector arrangement (12) and adaptable graphical positioning information (14). The graphical positioning information comprises at least a graphical target anatomy representation (16). The graphical target positioning information is provided in spatial relation with the X ray detector arrangement. The graphical target anatomy representation indicates a target position (18) of a respective anatomy of the patient for a determined X ray image acquisition. Further the graphical positioning information is adaptable in accordance with the determined X ray image acquisition.
