Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for estimating patient structure prior to a scan by a medical imaging system. As one example, a method may include acquiring depth images of a patient positioned on a table of the medical imaging system, correcting the depth images based on histogram data from the depth images, and extracting a three-dimensional structure of the patient based on the corrected depth images.
