A system and method for an image reconstruction user interface is provided. An imaging system may be used to scan a subject and provide reconstructed images of the subject. Reconstructed images may be output to a display, printer, network, and/or memory storage device. To view information and select options for image reconstruction, a visualization system and method is utilized.

System and method for image reconstruction user interface

Systems and methods are provided that receive a clinical identifier, an acquisition condition target, and one or more patient characteristics. The systems and methods further generate a scan attribute based on the clinical identifier. The scan attribute corresponding to characteristics of a resultant medical image. The systems and methods determine select scan settings from a plurality of scan settings based on the scan attribute and the one or more patient characteristics, and calculate candidate acquisition conditions associated with the select scan settings. Further, the systems and methods identify one of the select scan settings as a scan prescription based on a relation between the candidate acquisition conditions and the acquisition condition target.

Systems and methods for guided selection of acquisition parameters for medical imaging

Methods and systems are provided that obtain a scan prescription and receive physiologic feature or interest (FOI) measurements of an object of interest during a scan time. The methods and systems further compare at least one of the received physiologic FOI measurements with a predetermined threshold range, and determine a scan setting by evaluating an acquisition rule set based on the physiologic FOI measurement.

Systems and methods for adaptive computed tomography acquisition

A method for determining a subject's orientation includes receiving, at an imaging system, an input that indicates an orientation of a subject being imaged, automatically determining the orientation of the subject using a feature recognition system, comparing the received input to the automatically determined orientation, and generating an image, the image including orientation indicia based on the comparison. An object orientation recognition system and an imaging system are also described herein.

Method and apparatus for determining a subjects orientation

A computed tomography (CT) system that includes a rotational gantry and a stationary structure communicatively coupled to the rotational gantry is provided. The rotational gantry includes an X-ray source configured to emit an X-ray beam through a subject, an X-ray detector comprising one or more detector elements that receive incoming X-rays and to convert the incoming X-rays to image signals, and a data acquisition unit that processes the image signals to generate processed image data. The stationary structure is coupled to the rotational gantry via one or more slip rings that transfer the processed image data from the rotational gantry to stationary memory integral with the stationary structure via a bidirectional serial data exchange protocol.
