APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION

摘要

Method and apparatus for acquiring diagnostic information comprising: -a data acquisition module for acquiring image data of at least a part of a person's anatomy, -a planning module defining with reference to a spatial position and orientation of an example anatomy at least one series of scanning steps to be executed with the data acquisition module on an actual anatomy, -a user interface to adjust imaging parameters to be used in a selected scanning step of a series of scanning steps, for acquiring image data of that actual anatomy, wherein -the user interface displays for every step of the selected series of scanning steps predefined scanning parameters pertaining to the example anatomy, and -the user interface is arranged to have a user select the actual imaging parameters to be used in each such step of the selected series of scanning steps with reference to a pre-established three-dimensional survey volume of the actual anatomy.
