METHOD FOR THE POSITION PLANNING OF A CAPTURING SYSTEM OF A MEDICAL IMAGING DEVICE, AND MEDICAL IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

A method for the position planning of a capturing system of an imaging device with respect to a selectable capturing region of a patient, comprising the following steps: • capturing current position information of the capturing system and/or of the imaging device and/or setting information of a collimator of the imaging device, • capturing current position information of the patient, • determining a current course of an x-ray beam that can be emitted by the capturing system, • determining a current volume of intersection between the x-ray beam and the patient, in particular a patient envelope determined from the position information of the patient, and/or a current capturing region from the current course of the x-ray beam and a patient envelope, • displaying the current volume of intersection and/or the current capturing region as a virtual display element, • receiving a target volume of intersection and/or a target capturing region by manipulation of the virtual display element, and • determining a target position of the capturing system and/or of the imaging device and/or the setting of the collimator in such a way that, when the target position is assumed, the target volume of intersection and/or target capturing region becomes the current volume of intersection and/or current capturing region.
