Patent Images
1. A method for generating a medical image, comprising:
- obtaining, via a camera, at least one surface image of a patient;
determining, from the at least one surface image, a pose of the patient using at least one spatial information module;
positioning, via a moveable bed, the patient at an imaging start position; and
obtaining, via a medical image modality, a medical image of the patient.

Abstract
A method of obtaining a medical image includes obtaining, via a camera, at least one surface image of a patient. A pose of the patient is determined from the at least one surface image of the patient using at least one spatial information module. The patient is positioned, via a moveable bed, to an imaging start position and a medical image of the patient is obtained using a medical imaging modality.

14. A system of generating a medical image, comprising:
-
an imaging modality configured to obtain a medical image of a patient; an imaging device configured to obtain at least one surface image of a patient; and a processor configured to implement at least one of a spatial information module, a temporal information module, or a combination thereof, wherein the processor is configured to receive the at least one surface image of the patient and verify at least one of a patient pose or a body region, and wherein the processor is configured to execute a medical imaging procedure using the imaging modality when the patient pose or body region is verified. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions, when executed by a computer in a system for reviewing neural scans, cause the system for reviewing neural scans to execute the steps of:
-
receiving at least one surface image of a patient; determining a pose of the patient from the at least one surface image using at least one spatial information module; positioning, via a moveable bed, the patient at an imaging start position; and obtaining, via a medical image modality, a medical image of the patient.
