Abstract
CT scan parameters for performing a CT scan of an anatomical target region of a patient are determined and/or adjusted. An initial set of the CT scan parameters for starting to perform the CT scan is determined based on an initial set of attenuation curves associated with the anatomical target region of the patient. The initial set of attenuation curves are determined based on optical imaging data depicting the patient.
