<p>A medical examination apparatus including an imaging means (2,3), a viewing system (4), wherein image data processing means (5) is arranged to facilitate production of different images of a feature of interest such that the pose of the feature is comparable in the different images. The image data processing means (5) estimates the pose of the anatomical feature in a first image generated by the imaging means, produces imaging means control data indicative of the desired imaging geometry for controlling one or more parameters of the imaging means (2,3) for producing a further image having the feature of interest in the estimated pose, and outputs the produced imaging means control data. The output control data may be output in a viewable form and/or output directly to the imaging means (2,3) so as automatically to control the parameters thereof. The output control data can also control the imaging means so as to produce an image having desired intensity characteristics.</p> |
