Abstract
An imaging system and method for using the imaging system are described. In one example, a method of creating representative position information of a patient during a medical imaging scan is provided. The method includes, prior to performing a medical imaging scan, performing initial LiDAR data acquisition to obtain baseline LiDAR data, performing segmentation of the baseline LiDAR data, wherein the baseline LiDAR data includes a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud model, performing continuous LiDAR data acquisition to obtain continuous LiDAR data, which includes a real-time 3D point cloud model, and comparing the baseline LiDAR data with the continuous LiDAR data to detect motion of a patient.
