Abstract
A system and method for automatically adjusting parameters of an imaging machine are disclosed. The system comprises at least one sensor device to capture sensed characteristic information of a next person to be medically imaged. The system also includes a computer to receive the sensed characteristic information from the at least one sensor device and to generate adjustment data based on the sensed characteristic information. The system further includes a medical imaging machine to receive the adjustment data from the computer and to adjust at least one parameter of the imaging machine in response to the adjustment data.
Claims19
A method for automatically adjusting a medical imaging machine, said method comprising:
- capturing sensed height and weight characteristic information from a next, standing person to be medically imaged using at least one sensor device;
- generating adjustment data based on said sensed height and weight characteristic information;
- adjusting at least one parameter of said medical imaging machine in response to said adjustment data, wherein said at least one parameter comprises a height of an imaging sensor of said imaging machine, wherein said height of said imaging sensor is based upon said sensed height of said standing person;
- and
- imaging at least a portion of said next person with said medical imaging machine after adjusting said at least one parameter.
A system for automatically adjusting parameters of a medical imaging machine, said system comprising:
- at least one sensor device to capture sensed height and weight characteristic information of a next, standing person to be medically imaged;
- a computer to receive said sensed height and weight characteristic information from said at least one sensor device and to generate adjustment data based on said sensed height and weight characteristic information;
- and
- a medical imaging machine to receive said adjustment data from said computer and to adjust at least one parameter of said medical imaging machine in response to said adjustment data, wherein said at least one parameter comprises a height of an imaging sensor of said imaging machine, wherein said height of said imaging sensor is based upon said sensed height of said standing person.
