METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY POSITIONING A STRUCTURE WITHIN A FIELD OF VIEW

摘要

A method for positioning an organ of interest within a field of view of an imaging detector includes positioning an organ of interest at an initial imaging position, performing automatic organ detection to determine a position of the organ, determining a revised imaging position of a detector or a table based on the position of the organ, prompting a user to accept the revised imaging position, and automatically repositioning at least one of the detector or the table to the revised imaging position based on a user input in response to the prompting. A patient positioning module and a medical imaging system are also described herein.

1. A method for positioning an organ of interest within a field of view of an imaging detector, the method comprising:
positioning the organ of interest at an initial imaging position; acquiring initial image data while the organ of interest is in the initial imaging position; reconstructing an initial image from the initial image data acquired while the organ of interest is in the initial imaging position; performing automatic organ detection to determine the initial imaging position of the organ of interest; deriving an improved examination position based, at least in part, on the initial position of the organ of interest; moving the patient to the improved examination position; and performing an examination of the organ of interest at the improved imaging position.
