SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED SCAN PLANNING USING SYMMETRY DETECTION AND IMAGE REGISTRATION

摘要

A method of determining an anatomically consistent scan protocol for an object of interest includes obtaining a volumetric image of an object of interest to be imaged, transforming the volumetric image, estimating the position and orientation of the object using the volumetric image and the transformed volumetric image, and modifying the imaging scan protocol using the estimated object position and orientation.
