Visual pre-scan patient information for magnetic resonance protocol

A control panel, comprising:

• a processor configured to receive patient data generated by a weight sensor and at least one additional sensor, the patient data corresponding to dimensions of a body of a patient, the processor configured to generate model data as a function of the patient data, the model data representing the body of the patient;
• a memory arrangement configured to store the patient data and the model data;
• and
• an input device configured to receive a target location on the model data, the target location corresponding to a desired position on the body of the patient for performing an imaging scan,
• wherein the processor determines an isocenter for the imaging scan as a function of the target location.

A system, comprising:

• a weight sensor and at least one additional sensor disposed in a scan room configured to generate patient data indicative of dimensions of a body of a patient;
• a control panel, comprising:
• a processor configured to receive the patient data, the processor configured to generate model data as a function of the patient data, the model data representing the body of the patient;
• a memory arrangement configured to store the patient data and the model data;
• and
• an input device configured to receive a target location on the model data, the target location corresponding to a desired position on the body of the patient for performing an imaging scan;
• and
• a scanning device configured to perform the imaging scan,
• wherein the processor determines an isocenter for the imaging scan as a function of the target location.
