Method for determining position of anatomical region e.g. heart of human being, involves maneuvering patient and supporting platform to desired position for imaging interesting anatomical region in patient

摘要

The method involves obtaining (104) several localization images of a patient. The several localization images are compared (106) with a reference picture. The difference between several localization images and reference picture is calculated (108). The desired position of patient is determined (110) based on computed difference. The patient and a supporting platform are maneuvered to desired position for imaging (114) interesting anatomical region in patient. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a system for determining position of anatomical region of patient; (2) a computer readable non volatile medium for determining position of anatomical region of patient; and (3) an imaging system.
