An imaging system for generating an x-ray image of a subject. The imaging system including an imaging gantry having an x-ray emitter for emitting x-rays through the subject and an x-ray detector for detecting the x-rays that have passed through the subject. The imaging gantry is movable relative to the subject. The imaging system further including a control system configured to provide a user of the imaging system with a quick, easy, and efficient workflow of the imaging system to lead the user through a series of well-defined steps for setting up the imaging system.

Methods and systems for guiding user to perform medical imaging

A method and system are disclosed for analyzing image data of a subject and/or operating and moving an imaging system to obtain image data. The image data can be collected with an imaging system in a selected manner and/or motion. An automatic system and method may define or identify positions for image data acquisition.

Method and system for positioning an imaging system

A method and system for identifying an implant in an x-ray image of an anatomy shown on a display screen. The method includes: displaying the image including an artifact of the implant; prompting a user to enter parameters of the implant; displaying a rendering of the implant over the image; prompting the user to position the rendering on the artifact at an accurate position corresponding to an actual position of the implant; alerting the user when the rendering is at an inaccurate position; prompting the user to reposition the rendering from the inaccurate position to the accurate position; alerting the user when the rendering is maneuvered by the user to the accurate position; and after the rendering has been maneuvered to the accurate position by the user, reconstructing the x-ray image to replace the artifact with the rendering affixed in the accurate position.

Method to superimpose rendering over spine hardware implants on images produced by Cbct scanner system

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system in a selected manner and/or motion. More than one projection may be combined to generate and create a selected view of the subject.
