Abstract
In a method and apparatus for determining at least one patient-specific safety parameter for a medical imaging examination conducted on the patient by a medical imaging device, position data of the patient are acquired by a position data detector while the patient is on a patient-positioning device of the medical imaging apparatus. The acquired position data are evaluated in a processor in order to determine position information of the patient. The patient-specific safety parameter is determined using the position information of the patient.
