In three-dimensional X-ray imaging, with C-arm systems, scan setup has to be performed manually under fluoroscopic control. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a scan planning system for planning a data acquisition process is provided, which is adapted to predict a field of view to be reconstructed and an image quality in the field of view with respect to the actual three-dimensional scan parameter set and previously acquired images or other information. The scan planning system may be accomplished by a stand control unit.
Scan planning system for planning a data acquisition process of an object of interest with a rotational X-ray C-arm examination apparatus, the scan planning system comprising:
A rotational X-ray C-arm examination apparatus for examination of an object of interest, the examination apparatus comprising:
Method of planning a data acquisition process of an object of interest with a rotational X-ray C-arm examination apparatus, the method comprising the step of:
An image processing device for planning a data acquisition process of an object of interest with a rotational X-ray C-arm examination apparatus, the image processing device comprising:
A computer-readable medium (402), in which a computer program of planning a data acquisition process of an object of interest with a rotational X-ray C-arm examination apparatus is stored which, when being executed by a processor (120), causes the processor to carry out the step of:
A program element of planning a data acquisition process of an object of interest with a rotational X-ray C-arm examination apparatus, which, when being executed by a processor (120), causes the processor to carry out the step of:
