The present invention relates to diagnostic imaging. In order to provide an improved, efficient, and/or fast procedure for adapting the physical stress during diagnostic imaging, a stress support system is provided. The stress support system comprises a stress determination device and at least one stress inducing device with a support device and a control device. The support device is attachable to a patient and configured to apply a physical stress to a body part of the patient. The stress determination device is configured to determine a required stress level for a medical scan of the body part. The control device is configured to modify the support device to adjust the applied physical stress to the required stress level.
