The present invention relates to a method for scan geometry planning. The method comprises: providing at least one scanning imaging system (203A-N, 100) coupled to a computer server (201) controlling the server (201) to communicate with the at least one scanning imaging system (203A-N) building a database (400) from image data obtained from the at least one scanning imaging system, wherein the image data indicates scan 5 geometries in association with respective reference images acquired using the scan geometries receiving at the server (201) a scan geometry request from a scanning imaging system (203A) of the at least one scanning imaging system, the request being indicative of a survey image, wherein the survey image is obtained during a calibration scan by imaging a patient by the requesting scanning imaging system (203A) comparing the survey image with 10 the reference images sending the requesting scanning imaging system data indicative of a scan geometry associated with a reference image of the reference images that matches the survey image controlling the requesting scanning imaging system (203A) to acquire imaging data during a clinical scan of the body volume using one of the submitted scan geometry and a modified scan geometry that results from the modification of the submitted scan geometry 15 at the requesting scanning imaging system controlling the requesting scanning imaging system (203A) to send the modified scan geometry to the server (201) in case the modified scan geometry is used for the acquiring of imaging data.
