The method involves an image acquisition unit recording the patient and reproducing images on a screen and image processing supporting patient positioning. A computer unit knows the spatial correlation between the coordinate system of handling and image acquisition devices. At least one body region is automatically detected by image processing and a scan region selectively covering at least this region is automatically suggested on the screen. The medical diagnosis or therapy device has a treatment unit (1), a computer unit (7) and an adjustable patient couch (2). An image acquisition unit (4,5) records the patient (6) and reproduces images on a screen (8) and image processing supports patient positioning. The computer knows the spatial correlation between the coordinate system of the handling and image acquisition devices. At least one body region (14-17) is automatically detected by image processing and a scan region selectively covering at least this region is automatically suggested on the screen. AN Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for positioning a patient in a medical diagnosis or therapy device. |
