Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung von einem Scout-Scan

摘要

A method and apparatus for providing (410, 520, 608, 714) a "just-in-time" localizer image of an object of interest from which a high resolution image can be based is disclosed herein. The "just-in-time" localizer image is acquired (408, 518, 606, 714) based on at least one of a default localizer image of the object of interest, a precursor image of the object of interest, and a representation of a three-dimensional volume data set associated with the object of interest. The "just-in-time" localizer image and the high resolution image are prescribed, acquired, and displayed within a single graphical prescription environment (300, 302).
