Method, an apparatus, a system and a computer program for transferring scan geometry between subsequent scans

An apparatus for transferring scan geometry from a first scan to a second scan for similar regions, the system comprising:

• an input for loading an overview scan of an object comprising a first region and a second region;
• a processor configured for:
• identifying the first region and the second region in the overview scan;
• determining a first scan geometry corresponding to the first region;
• automatically transferring without user intervention the first scan geometry into a second scan geometry corresponding to the second region using information on geometrical correspondence between the first region and the second region of the overview scan;
• and
• using a weighting factor to distinguish between samples of scan geometries and the first scan geometry for determining the second scan geometry.

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying computer instructions which, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to perform the acts of:

• identifying the first region and the second region in the overview scan;
• determining a first scan geometry corresponding to the first region;
• automatically transferring without user intervention the first scan geometry into the second scan geometry corresponding to the second region using information on geometrical correspondence between the first region and the second region of the overview scan;
• and
• using a weighting factor to distinguish between samples of scan geometries and the first scan geometry for determining the second scan geometry.
