Abstract
A medical imaging system is operated by determining a positioning rule indicating, for a region of interest, a target position, wherein a deviation between an actual position and the target position can affect imaging performance; obtaining measurement data of the region of interest, from which the actual position of the region of interest is derivable; determining a current deviation between the actual position and the target position of the region of interest, by comparing the positioning rule with the obtained measurement data; generating imaging performance information indicating whether the current deviation between the actual position and the target position of the region of interest currently affects the imaging performance in terms of image quality and/or remaining imaging time, or is expected to affect the imaging performance in terms of quality and/or remaining imaging time; and providing the generated imaging performance information to be communicated to a subject to be imaged.
