Abstract
Systems and methods for estimating optimal gantry orientation and/or scanning parameters using image(s) from one or several cameras for a CT scan of a patient. Images are acquired of a patient. An optimal gantry tilt is estimated that keeps the patient's eye lenses outside a range of a beam during the scan. The CT scan is performed using the optimal gantry tilt. A scout scan is not used.
