1. A system for tracking an arrangement of at least one mobile apparatus in relation to an imaging device, comprising:
- a position monitoring sensor operable to generate a signal indicative of a position of the at least one mobile apparatus relative to a reference point;
a controller in communication with the position monitoring sensor, the controller having a processor in communication with a memory having a plurality of program instructions executable by the processing, the plurality of program instructions including the acts;
calculating a position of the at least one mobile apparatus relative to imaging device;
storing the position of the at least one mobile apparatus relative to the imaging device in a storage medium.

Abstract
A system for tracking an arrangement of at least one mobile apparatus in relation to an imaging device is provided. The system includes at least one position monitoring sensor in communication with a controller. The position monitoring sensor is operable to generate a signal indicative of a position of the at least one mobile apparatus relative to a reference point. The controller is operable to calculate a position of the at least one mobile apparatus relative to the imaging device, and store the position of the at least one mobile apparatus relative to the imaging device in a storage medium.

10. A method of tracking a mobile apparatus in relation to an imaging device, the method comprising the acts of:
-
receiving and storing a first geometric description representative of the imaging device; receiving and storing a second geometric description representative of the at least one mobile apparatus; measuring a location of the at least one mobile apparatus relative to a reference point; calculating a likelihood of at least a partial interference of the at least one mobile apparatus with the imaging device based on the location of the at least one mobile apparatus and the first and second geometric descriptions; and causing an automatic control of a motion of the imagine device based on the likelihood of at least the partial interference. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
