A method ( 200 ) for setting up and performing a medical imaging session of a subject using a gamma camera ( 12, 52 ) includes selecting ( 208 ) an imaging procedure on an input terminal ( 72 ). A procedure table ( 76 ) is electronically accessed to retrieve at least one of: (1) an identification ( 210 ) of a collimator ( 30 ) to be used with a detector head ( 14, 54 ) in the selected imaging procedure; and (2) an initial imaging position of the detector head ( 14, 54 ) for the selected imaging procedure. A currently mounted collimator that is currently attached to the detector head ( 14, 54 ) is electronically identified. At least one of: (1) loading ( 216 ) the identified collimator onto the detector head ( 14, 54 ); and (2) positioning ( 220 ) the detector head in the identified initial imaging position, is automatically controlled.
