Summary:For patient positioning for scanning, a current pose of a patient is compared to a desired pose. The desired pose may be based on a protocol or a pose of the same patient in a previous examination. Any differences in pose, such as arm position, leg position, head orientation, and/or torso orientation (e.g., laying on side, back, or stomach), are communicated. By changing the current pose of the patient to be more similar to the desired pose, a more consistent and/or registerable dataset may be acquired by scanning the patient.
