Abstract:
Apparatus for aiming e.g. an X-ray camera, for capturing image(s) of a physiology of a patient, and related method, are shown and described. A plurality of light projectors are mounted to the X-ray camera. When projected light beams impinge upon pre-identified reference points on the physiology of the patient, a visual indicator operates to indicate that the X-ray image may be taken. The pre-identified reference points may exist within a microprocessor associated with the X-ray camera, and may be based on an image of the physiology. The microprocessor maps the reference points to small indication areas illuminated by the light projectors. When a predetermined threshold of registration of the indication areas with the reference points exists, the visual indicator operates, whereupon the human operator may operate the X-ray camera.
