Abstract
A medical imaging system is provided. The medical imaging system includes an imaging device with a radiation source and a detector, a control unit; and a processing unit. The processing unit is operable to compare a stored reference image taken using a high radiation dose with a current image taken using a lower radiation dose. The control unit is operable to trigger the imaging device to take a further image using a high radiation dose based on the comparison.
Claims17
A method for imaging with a medical imaging device;
- the method comprising:
- obtaining a reference image using a high radiation dose of a radiation source;
- storing the reference image;
- obtaining a current image using a lower radiation dose,
- automatically comparing the reference image with the current image;
- and
- obtaining a further image using a high radiation dose when a change in the current image is detected based on the comparison of the reference image and the current image.

A method for capturing an image sequence with an x-ray device;
- the method comprising:
- obtaining a reference image using a high radiation dose and a current image using a lower radiation dose;
- comparing the reference image with the current image;
- and
- imaging a further image using a high radiation dose when a difference in one or more areas of the current image is detected based on the comparison of the reference image and the current image.
