摘要:
An imaging apparatus includes a nuclear medicine imaging device (10), a patient table (14), and a table controller (18) comprising an electronic processor and actuators configured to position the patient table along an axial direction and in a transverse plane that is transverse to the axial direction. An automatic positioning engine (40) comprises an electronic processor (42) programmed to determine an optimal position of the patient table in the transverse plane for imaging a target of interest in a patient based on a prior image (20, 34) of the patient. The table controller operates the patient table to position the patient table in accord with the determined optimal position of the patient table.
