Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and systems for surview scans are provided. In one aspect, a method includes: collecting an image for a subject on a scan bed of a computed tomography system when the scan bed is stationary; determining a scan beginning position for a surview scan in the image, where graduation patterns are marked on the scan bed, and a relative position between the graduation patterns and the scan bed remains unchanged; obtaining a first distance between the scan beginning position and a surview collection plane perpendicular to the scanning bed according to the graduation patterns in the image; controlling the scan bed to move toward the surview collection plane; and in response to determining that a scan bed moving distance reaches the first distance, starting the surview scan to obtain a surview image.
