Abstract
A method of automatically determining an imaging protocol. The method includes receiving, via a user-interface, a scan request. The scan request includes a region-of-interest definition. The method further includes determining, via a controller, an imaging protocol based on the scan request, and performing, via an imaging device, a scan of a patient based on the imaging protocol.
Claims21
A method of automatically determining an imaging protocol, the method comprising:
- receiving, via a user-interface, a dental imaging scan request including a region- of-interest definition and a modality selection;
- determining, via a controller and based on the scan request and a type of imaging device to be used, an imaging protocol that includes a field-of-view;
- automatically setting the field-of-view based on the type of imaging device to be used and the region-of-interest definition, wherein the field-of-view includes at least one selected from a group consisting of a field-of-view size and a field-of-view position;
- and
- performing, via an imaging device of the type of imaging device to be used, a scan of a patient based on the imaging protocol.

An imaging system comprising:
- a user-interface;
- a controller including a processor and a memory, the controller configured to
- receive, from the user-interface, a dental imaging scan request including a region-of-interest definition and a modality selection, and
- determine an imaging protocol that includes a field-of-view, the determination based on the scan request and a type of imaging device to be used;
- automatically set the field-of-view based on the type of imaging device to be used and the region-of-interest definition, wherein the field-of-view includes at least one selected from a group consisting of a field-of-view size and a field-of-view position;
- and
- an imaging device of the type of imaging device to be used configured to perform a scan of a patient based on the imaging protocol.
