Abstract
Described herein are an imaging system and method. Specifically, the imaging system includes a positioning image acquisition unit configured to acquire positioning images of a scanned object from a plurality of angles, a contour estimation unit configured to estimate a contour of the object in each positioning image in a scanning direction when truncation is present in at least one positioning image, and a display field of view determination unit configured to select a maximum value of an estimated contour as a display field of view of the image. A contour of a scanned object in each positioning image in a scanning direction is estimated when truncation is present in at least one positioning image, thereby determining a suitable display field of view. An appropriate display field of view can be set, so that a reconstructed image can cover the entire contour of the object and have a higher resolution.
