Abstract
An embodiment of the invention relates to a method for planning support for a computer tomography recording of an examination object by means of a computer tomography device, including the following steps: recording a 2-D overview image (topogram) of the examination object by means of the computer tomography device, determining position-dependent information by means of the overview image, forwarding the information to a projection device, and correct positioned displaying the information on the surface of the examination object.
Claims5
A method for planning support for a computer tomography recording of an examination object via a computer tomography device, comprising:
- recording a 2D overview image of the examination object via the computer tomography device;
- determining a content of a projection image of the examination object;
- determining a position of the examination object;
- forwarding the projection image to a projection device;
- and
- displaying the projection image of the examination object on the surface of the examination object, the position of the projection image being consistent with the position of the object;
- wherein the determining a projection image of the examination object and the determining a position of the examination object are both based on the recorded 2D overview image;
- and
- wherein the determining a projection image of the examination object is an interpolation process;
- wherein the projection image of the examination object includes a scannable range and a non-scannable scan range of the computer tomography device;
- and
- wherein the scannable range is marked in a first color and the non-scannable range is marked in a second color.
