Imaging apparatus and method for determining an imaging protocol for a sub-area

A computer-implemented method for determining an imaging protocol for acquiring image data of a diagnostically relevant sub-area of a region of a body of a patient via an imaging apparatus, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• acquiring information about the region of the body;
• provisioning an input option for acquiring information about a sub-area of the region of the body as a function of the information about the region of the body, wherein the input option includes a plurality of sub-areas of the region of the body;
• acquiring the diagnostically relevant sub-area as a function of the input option for acquiring the information about the sub-area of the region of the body;
• determining the imaging protocol for acquiring the image data of the diagnostically relevant sub-area of the region of the body of the patient as a function of the diagnostically relevant sub-area;
• and
• provisioning the imaging protocol for acquiring the image data of the diagnostically relevant sub-area of the region of the body via the imaging apparatus.
