Automatic setting of imaging parameters

A medical system, comprising:

• at least one computer configured to perform a method including:
• acquiring patient data describing information relating to a patient and having impact on a setting of at least one imaging parameter of an imaging device;
• acquiring object data describing at least one property of at least one object of interest associated with anatomy of the patient, the at least one object of interest being at least one of an actual object that will be depicted in at least one image to be acquired with the image device or a virtual object defined with respect to the patient's anatomy:
• determining imaging parameter data based on the patient data and the object data, describing a patient-specific setting of the at least one imaging parameter of the imaging device;
• at least one electronic data storage device storing at least the patient data and the object data;
• and
• the imaging device for acquiring image data of the patient,
• wherein the at least one computer is operably coupled to
• the at least one electronic data storage device for acquiring, from the at least one data storage device, at least the patient data and the object data, and
• the imaging device for issuing a control signal to the imaging device for controlling the operation of the imaging device on the basis of the patient data.
