SELF-LEARNING SYSTEM FOR SCAN PLANNING

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method for planning a scan geometry for imaging a predefined anatomy (308) using a scanning imaging system (100, 300). The method comprises: building a database using data mining during a learning phase comprising determining clinical context information, anatomy information and scan geometries of previously performed scans; planning the scan geometry during a planning phase comprising performing a survey scan of the anatomy (308) using the scanning imaging system (100, 300), thereby generating scan information indicative of the scan and anatomy; matching the generated scan information with the content of the database; based on the matching result, providing one or more scan geometries.
